"The following Hints are offered to the notice of the Amatueur from a conviction that it is not so much how to draw as how to see that is required in Sketching from Nature.  The work accordingly consists rather of observations on the various appearances of trees, and the means of interpreting them, than of instruction in details of manipulation, which are to be found in abundance in other works."--Preface.
