Excerpt from Sylva: Or a Discourse of Forest Trees, Vol. 2 of 2I. Sylva caedua is (as Varro defines it) as well copp'ce to cut for fuel as for use of timber; and we have already shew'd how it is to be rais'd, both by sowing and planting. I shall only here add, that if in their first designation, they be so laid out, as to grow for several falls; they will both prove more profitable, and more delightful: More profitable, because of their annual succession; and more pleasant, because there will always remain some of them standing; and if they be so cast out, as that you leave straight and even intervals, of eighteen or twenty foot for grass, between spring-wood and spring-wood, securely fenc'd and preserv'd; the pastures will lie both warm, and prove of exceeding delight to the owner. These spaces are likewise useful and necessary for cartway, to fetch out the wood at every fall.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
