"These sketches are not scientific, but popular, and 

 do for inanimate nature," says the Pittsburgh Press, 

 "what Ernest Thompson-Seton or John Burroughs 

 have done for the beasts and birds. Trees have had 

 their lovers among naturalists, painters, and poets. Mr. 

 McFarland is one of these, and he has the plain and 

 intimate way of saying things that conveys this interest 

 to others." They record the growth of the author's 

 own interest and information as he has deserved and 

 enjoyed the trees among which he has walked. To 

 pass on some of the benefit which has come into his 

 own life from this interest in trees has been his purpose. 

 The book is profusely illustrated from unusually fine 

 photographs taken by the author. Such an authority 

 as Prof. Charles Sargent, of the Harvard Arboretum, 

 has pronounced this " a capital book."
