Prof. D. WEBSTER , 'The Present and Past of British Woodlands '
THE woodlands of England have been dwindling steadily since the first records, which show us a densely-wooded Britain in which forests formed as effective a barrier to invasion as mountains did, but there still remain the characteristic English woods, with a great variety of native trees. Professor Webster, as the author of ' Webster's Practical Forestry,' ' London Trees,' and several similar works, is well qualified to discuss this subject, so interesting to both town and country listeners.
