Excerpt from The Planter's Guide, or a Practical Essay on the Best Method of Giving Immediate Effect to Wood, by the Removal of Large Trees and Underwood: Being an Attempt to Place the Art, and That of General Arboriculture, on Fixed and Phytological Principles

The Removal of Large Trees, for pleasure or use, is an art of great antiquity. As a branch of arboriculture, it is well known to most modern nations: but it has remained still longer than agriculture, without any principles to regulate it, as chemistry and physiology, till of late years, have been confined to the recluse philosopher, and are little studied or understood by the active and the practical. I trust, however, that the time is not far distant, when arboriculture like husbandry, will engage the attention of some able physiologist, and be thoroughly illustrated in all its parts.
