William Marshall (1745-1818), an experienced farmer and land agent,
published this work in 1795, and early in 1796 produced a second
edition (reissued here), 'with large additions'. The two-volume
work was intended as a practical guide for the owners or managers
of large estates on how to establish and maintain timber
plantations, both for their financial value and also as important
decorative elements in the landscaping of the surroundings of the
owner's house. The work covers the practical issues of planting,
propagating and transplanting, and discusses the choice of trees
for different commercial purposes, and the planning and maintenance
of hedgerows, as well as ornamental buildings. Volume 2 begins with
an account of the Linnaean system of plant classification and its
sexual basis, and supplies both an alphabetical list of trees and
shrubs in their Latin Linnaean classes, and an index of plants
under their English names.
