Excerpt from Rural Essays
This posthumous volume completes the series of Mr. Downing's works. It comprises, with one or two exceptions, all his editorial papers in the "Horticulturist." The Editor has preferred to retain their various temporary allusions, because they serve to remind the reader of the circumstances under which the articles were prepared. Mr. Downing had designed a work upon the Shade-Trees of the United States, but left no notes upon the subject.
In the preparation of the memoir, the Editor has been indebted to a sketch in the Knickerbocker Magazine, by Mrs. Monell, of Newburgh, to Mr. Wilder's eulogy before the Pomological Congress, and to an article in the "New-York Quarterly," by Clarence Cook, Esq.
