Description

The North America Sylva V1 is a comprehensive guide to the forest trees of the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia, written by Francois Andre Michaux and published in 1819. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part consisting of a general description of the forest trees, their characteristics, and their uses. The second part is a detailed description of each species, including its botanical characteristics, habitat, and distribution. Michaux's work is considered a landmark in the study of North American trees, as it was the first comprehensive guide to the region's flora. The book includes detailed illustrations of each species, as well as maps showing their distribution across the continent. It is an essential resource for botanists, foresters, and anyone interested in the natural history of North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
