Description
1812 John Evelyn SYLVA Forest TREES Forestry Illustrated Plants Botany 2v SET John Evelyn was an English writer, gardener, and diarist. His diaries, or memoirs, are largely contemporaneous with those of the other noted diarist of the time, Samuel Pepys, and cast considerable light on the art, culture, and politics of his time. It was, however, his work “ Sylva ” that is considered one of the best. This treatise, more often known as “ A Discourse of Forest Trees ” is one of the most important works on forestry ever written. In 1662, Evelyn presented a paper to the Royal Society concerning the depletion of England’s forests due to the logging and ship-building industries with the hopes of advocating for the restoration of the declining forests. Evelyn notes specific varieties of trees and provides direction on how to sustain them as well as providing instruction on how to appropriately cultivate trees rather than just cutting them down en masse. This 1812 edition was published in York, representing the vast legacy that this book had more than 150 years after the first edition.

I bought an item from this seller as a very special Christmas gift to my husband this year. This seller is responsive to any questions you have and takes great pride and care in packaging the item. The shipping was way faster than I expected it to be, and the item was exactly as described. The item is beautiful, and I feel that it was most definitely valued appropriately. I highly recommend this seller, and my experience was exceptionally positive.

Packaging was great and it's condition was phenomenal better than described and shown in the photos!!!! A fantastic value for it's condition compared to others on eBay. Shipping was fast but UPS did make it a complete hassle. Not the sellers fault by any means as he was quite willing to help when I messaged him! Overall a great experience except for UPS lol. I'm very excited to have this as part of my art deco bar collection!

The book arrived in a timely manner. It was in excellent condition and was package very good. I love the book, just didn't realize that it was in French. But that's ok, I still love. I have a lot of stuff on Joan of Arc, Stained glass window, bronze statue and pictures. Would definitely buy from him again.
