THE TREES, 



ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, WITH THE INSTRUC- 

 TIONS RELATIVE TO EACH. 



92. It will frequently happen^ that a tree will have to be 

 called by two or more diflfereiit names. The Locust tree, 

 for instance, is called the False Acacia, or Pseudo 

 Acacia ; and some readers would look for the instructions 

 relative to that tree, under the word Acacia, and not under 

 the word Locust. Then, again, there are some trees, which 

 all belong to one family, and yet that go by different names. 

 For instance, there are the Abele and the Aspen; but these 

 are Poplar trees; they are nothing more than different 

 sorts of Poplar; and, therefore, a description of them, as 

 well as every thing relating to them, will be found under 

 the word Poplar. In order, however, that no incon- 

 venience may arise from this arrangement, an index will be 

 found at the end of the Book, and will of course be pub- 

 lished with the last Number, containing all the names, that 

 are, as far as I have ever heard, in any thing like common 

 use. This Index will be in Alphabetical order, of course : 

 the names will be the English names, followed by the Bo- 

 tanical names : so that, if the reader have not been accus- 

 tomed to make use of the word Locust, for instance, he will 

 look for the word Acacia; and against that word he will 

 find, "See Locust." If he look for Aspen, he will find 

 " See Poplar.'' Amongst the American Trees, there is one 

 which is commonly called Bass Wood. 1 have called this 

 by the American name, but it is a Lime Tree; and the
