IV 
CHARACTER OF THE BROADLEAF 
FORESTS 
F the individual trees of the two 
main groups that were described in 
the opening chapter impress us differ- 
ently as they belong to the one or the 
other, it will be found that the two 
kinds of forests likewise convey dis- 
tinct impressions. Different in aspect, 
they are also distinguished one from 
the other by the different atmosphere 
or spirit that pervades them. Taking 
leave here of the trees as individuals, I 
shall now examine the characteristics 
of woodland scenery.
