 of lefs value, perhaps they would not have 

 grown fafter than the common Englim 

 oak ; and if they did, it would he very 

 material to know if the wood was equally 

 good, for the quantity will not make up 

 for the quality, if it is of an inferior 

 nature^ 



EVERY one knows that all the kinds of* 

 forefi-trees we have in England, that are 

 of quick growth, their wood is of very lit- 

 tle value, as poplars and willows of all- 

 kinds ; but there may be feminal varieties 

 in feedlings of all kinds of trees, as the 

 quality of the wood may be equally good 

 and yet grow much fatter ; for in large 

 plantations of all kinds of trees there will 

 be many that will moot as much in one 

 year as the generality of the plantation do 

 in two or three, where there is not tha 

 leaft vifible difference in the foil.
