Valuable Work. 



G. THORBURN & SONS have in press for publi- 

 cation, the Plani'er's Guide, or a practical essay 

 on the best method of giving immediate effect to 

 wood, by tlie removal of large trees and underwood ; be- 

 ing an attempt to place the art, and thai of general arbori- 

 culture, on phylological and fixed piinciples ; interspers- 

 ed wilh observations on general planting and the im- 

 provement of rural laniNcape. By Sir llcnry Sleuai t, 

 Bart. LL.D. F. R. S. From the second English edition; 

 greatly enlarged and improved. 



The work will be printed on fine paper, with new 

 type will form a handsome octavo volume of upwards of 

 4(11) pages ; the price will be $3, cloth bds. The work 

 will be illustrated with beautiful engrrvings; the fron- 

 tispiece on steel, by Sinilie, in the best manner, from a 

 superb engraved view of the park at Allanton House, 

 representing the improvemenls and scenery as called in- 

 to existence by means of the tiansplanling macliine. — 

 There will be also several wood cuts by Mason, one of 

 which is a plan of the machine. 



The successful removing of large trees, of thirty or 

 forty ieet height, and four or five girth, without mu'tila- 

 ticm, or lopping the root nr branches, and selling them 

 out wilhonl support of any kind, .so that in one season 

 they possess all the beauty and vigor of trees raised from 

 seed, or of those planted out when young, may be consi- 

 dered as one of the greatest achievemeiiis of modern 

 times. With a knowledge of Ibis art, how many of our 

 bald and scorching streets and puhlii' places, cnuld be 

 immediately clothed and ornaminlod, which would at 

 once yield us refreshing and grateful shade. .The effect 

 of country residences and farm houses, which are in ex- 

 posed and unfavorable situations, can be inconceivably 

 improved by means of wood, which is so beauliful in it- 

 self, and which throws its own delightful character over 

 everything which it touches. In the language of the 

 author — ' If the ground be high it will give it shelter; 

 it tame and flat, variety of elevation; and if it be irregu- 

 lar and deformed, it will oftentimes convert those seem- 

 ing obstruclions into playful intricacy and unexpected 

 beauty.' 



The subject excitcil so much attention in Scotland, 

 that the Highland Society appointed a committee of sci- 

 enlific genllemen to inspect the operation of Sir Henry 

 Stenart at Allanton Park, in transporting large trees and 

 underwood, and lo report Ihereon. In consequence, 

 five of the committee, consisting of Sir Walter Scott, 

 Lord Bslhaven, Lord Succoth, Lord Corehouse, and 

 Alex. Youngj Esq. assembled at Allanton House, and 

 after devoting some time to the various objects submitted 

 lo their exandnation, came lo the following conclusion : 

 ' We conceive it lobe clearly made out, from what Sir 

 Henry has done, that all objects for wnodirig for pictu- 

 resque effect, ard for making as it is termed a place. 

 whether on the foreground, or the middle distance of the 

 lanilscape, may be effected at once, or at least within a 

 very short period ; thus, a man possessing the means, 

 and having within a reasonable distance the command of 

 a slock of trees fit for removal, may, in some sort, create 

 what it used to take a life-time, and sometimes two lives 

 to obtain, namely, a park richly clothed and sheltered ; 

 and Ihus the superlative luxury of well grown woods 

 which was supposed unattainable unless by the slow 

 efferts of time, is brought within the reach of science 

 and industry.'
