Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Vanishing Forests The forest is the background of America. We have built enormous industries upon its resources. We lead the nations of the earth in using its products. We turn to the woods instinctively for recreation. The forest is one of our great preservers. It feeds our lakes and streams. It shelters and renews our wild life. It has given moral stamina, self-taught resourcefulness, and bodily vigor to every generation of Americans. It is time we balanced accounts with our forest. It is time we became growers as well as users of wood. It is time we acquired something of the forestry sense of the provident folk of the old world - the instinct to protect the woods, to plant a tree where no more valuable plant will grow. It is time we paid heed to our idle acres - that we restored woods, industries, and people on the large part of our soil which lacks them all. To reach this goal much must be done by way of public effort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Vanishing Wild Life: Its Extermination and Preservation The preservation of animal and plant life, and of the general beauty of Nature, is one of the foremost duties of the men and women of to-day. It is an imperative duty, because it must be performed at once, for otherwise it will be too late. Every possible means of preservation, - sentimental, educational and legislative, - must be employed. The present warning issues with no uncertain sound, because this great battle for preservation and conservation cannot be won by gentle tones, nor by appeals to the aesthetic instincts of those who have no sense of beauty, or enjoyment of Nature. It is necessary to sound a loud alarm, to present the facts in very strong language, backed up by irrefutable statistics and by photographs which tell no lies, to establish the law and enforce it if needs be with a bludgeon. This book is such an alarm call. Its forceful pages remind me of the sounding of the great bells in the watch-towers of the cities of the Middle Ages which called the citizens to arms to protect their homes, their liberties and their happiness. It is undeniable that the welfare and happiness of our own and of all future generations of Americans are at stake in this battle for the preservation of Nature against the selfishness, the ignorance, or the cruelty of her destroyers. We no longer destroy great works of art. They are treasured, and regarded as of priceless value; but we have yet to attain the state of civilization where the destruction of a glorious work of Nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or bird, is regarded with equal abhorrence. The whole earth is a poorer place to live in when a colony of exquisite egrets or birds of paradise is destroyed in order that the plumes may decorate the hat of some lady of fashion, and ultimately find their way into the rubbish heap. The people of all the New England States are poorer when the ignorant whites, foreigners, or negroes of our southern states destroy the robins and other song birds of the North for a mess of pottage. Travels through Europe, as well as over a large part of the North American continent, have convinced me that nowhere is Nature being destroyed so rapidly as in the United States. Except within our conservation areas, an earthly paradise is being turned into an earthly hades; and it is not savages nor primitive men who are doing this, but men and women who boast of their civilization. Air and water are polluted, rivers and streams serve as sewers and dumping grounds, forests are swept away and fishes are driven from the streams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest It is a glimpse of the human heart, seen like the blue sea off soundings (which has puzzled, and worse, our landsmen critics) with an ugly and awful fact of human nature ever and anon surging up to the surface, like a monster of the deep, and showing its dark form for a moment in the leaping sun-light, then disappearing to seek its native depths. It makes you dizzy the unsteady motion, the sun dancing in the firmament, the masts describing segments of cir cles in the sky, the good ship heeled over, and almost laid on her beam ends, under the press of her cloud-like canvass, and threatening every moment to take in a flood over her bows, and the sight of these sea monsters sporting in the brine? Yet out of these Visions and per ceptions of nature, (our own abysmal nature in a turmoil, ) and the struggle to maintain the balance of the soul, spring Virtues and a purity of conscience of which the world has but a faint idea.

Here the trees will tell us of themselves and their work - what they do for you and for me. The Forest speaks to all who will listen, though every one translates its mes sage in a difierent way. Four men once eu tered the forest: a scientist, a pastor, a teacher, and a poet. The scientist brought away a treatise; the pastor, a text; the teacher, a lesson; and the poet, a song. I, too, found my way into the Forest; and all that I heard there I put into words, which took the form of a story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forests of the Night One day betty white had gone To tea with Maurice and Arthur Forbes, and it had come on to rain, so they had gone indoors and were playing at clumps. They were all too old, or at any rate too sophisticated, for the game, and the things they thought of were horribly ingenious. Betty thought of the grub which turned into the last fly that Robert Bruce's spider ever ate; then Arthur thought of the smallest pip in the largest apple ever borne by the tree from which they picked the apple which William Tell shot off the head of his son. This was disputed by Betty on the grounds that he probably didn't. Arthur would have taken the snub submissively, but Maurice came to his brother's defence.

This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Botany of Barren and Edmonson Counties, Vol. 1: Part II.; Second Series The ample stores of oak and other ship timbers along this stream suggests the possibility of developing another industry here. Good ship timber can be had in this district at one third the lowest prices ruling on the Atlantic seaboard. Food is scarcely half as clear. So I am confident that a given tonnage would not cost one third what it would in transatlantic ports, as far as these elements of cost are concerned. Coal for run ning saw-mills, where steam - power is preferred, can be had for about two dollars and a half a ton. When built, ships would not want for cargo. They could be laden with timber or grain, and could be taken without risk to New Orleans each winter, though drawing as much as twenty feet of water. This is be yond all needs of vessels of this class. Used in this fashion, there is an immediate and most important source of wealth in our vanishing forests, which exceeds computation. Again and again, on the borders of Green river, I have seen, in a few dozen acres of tobacco clearings, enough noble ship timber going to utter waste by fire or decay to have built half a dozen large merchantmen. If such a demand could be created, there are tens of thousands of acres in every Green River county that would be worth a hundred dollars per acre for their timber alone. In a certain way, the hard-wood timber of Western Ken tucky is a more immediate and satisfactory source of wealth than its coal or iron. It takes less capital to develop an indus try in it, and the competition will be far less considerable. At the same time, in the class of population it attracts to the State.
