Art. VIII. List of the most celebrated old Oaks, Cedars, Larches, 

 Chestnuts, Beeches, Elms, Ashes, Sycamores, 8^c., in Great Britain. 

 Published with a View of acquiring Information respecting their 

 present State. 



The chief object for which we present the following list is, to enable us to 

 determine with accuracy whether the oldest oak trees of Britain belong to the 

 species or variety Quercus iJobur pedunculata, or Q. R. sessiliflora. 



Those who have studied Art. VI. p. 371., and the article on oak foliage, 

 by Mr. Bree, in p. 5.33., will readily be able, on inspecting any of the old trees 

 enumerated below, to determine to which sort they belong ; and, if any one 

 should feel the slightest difficulty, he has only to send us a couple of leaves, 

 attached to about an inch of the shoot, in a frank. 



We wrote, some time ago, to the proprietors of most of these oaks respect- 

 ing their present state, kind, &c. ; and from most, or all of them, we have 

 received answers of a general nature ; but the object of this communication is 

 to direct the attention of gardeners and botanists to the subject, so as to 

 acquire some information of a definite and specific nature ; and, above all, to 

 enable us to determine the species to which the old oak trees belong. 



With respect to the old cedars, chestnuts, beeches, &c., our wish is chiefly 

 to ascertain their present state, and, as is the object of the preceding article, 

 to get notices of any older or larger specimens.
