This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Sylvan Winter: With Seventy IllustrationsBurnham Beeches, and have now the happiness of living amid my own green retreats. TO the writer's mind, therefore, for the moment, it was the especial verdancy Of spring and summer which suggested the picture of sylvan scenery and sylvan scenery, to the popular mind, is an expression which mostly implies the leafiness of the seasons that precede the fall. Yet the ancient worship of trees must rather have been suggested by the stern wintry aspect of the monarchs of the woods, than by the softer appearance Of their summer clothing - for the strength and power and grandeur, if the idea may be allowed, of the tree-form would be more conspicuous when divested of foliage. Similarly the grandeur and solemnity of the forest would more powerft affect the feelings when the great trunks and huge limbs of the sylvan giants stood out clearly defined against the wintry sky. The 'sacred liant' for the venerated Mistletoe was a winter rite - for that curious parasitic evergreen could not have been discovered amongst the summer mass of green leaves; and the 'sacred fire' of the Druids, communicated from the burning Yule-log.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
