A WOODLAND NOTEBOOK CONTAINING OBSERVATIONS ON CERTAIN BRITISH AND EXOTIC TREES ILLUSTRATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY MR. HENRY IRVING AND OTHERS BY THE Right Hon. SIR HERBERT MAXWELL BT., F.R.S., LL.D. ( Glasgow ), D.C.L. ( Durham ) Sit here by me, where the most beaten track Runs through the forest--hundreds of huge oaks, Gnarled, older than the thrones of Europe. Look, What breadth, height, strength--torrents of eddying bark! Some hollow-hearted from exceeding age (That never be thy lot nor mine!)--and some Pillaring a leaf-sky on their monstrous boles, Sound at the core as we. Tennyson's The Foresters , iii. 1.
