THE LIME-TREE.

Norfolk ; it was ninety feet high^ and forty- 

 eight feet in circumference. In Germany 

 and Switzerland, they are said to grow much 

 larger. 



We have now noticed, I believe, all those 

 trees which grow in Britain, and arrive at any 

 considerable size ; there are others, however, 

 which, though they do not exceed the growth 

 of middling fruit-trees, produce very hard and 

 useful timber, which has particular uses, and 

 bears a certain value. We shall, if I am not 

 mistaken, find specimens of them here, and 

 will take them as they come."
