From preface; ''The result of numerous wanderings through the counties of Fife and Kinross during the summers of 1875-6-7-8...Our chief object will be fulfilled if we can interest the Reader in the subject of Arboriculture, or contribute a litle to the information and enjoyment of the lover of nature. If, further, they stimulate others to overtake(sic) for the counties in Scotland what we have sought to secure for the counties of Fife nand Kinross, many advantages will be obtained...for records of the kind, when patiently and faithfully compiled, cannot fail to be of present utility, and increasing value hereafter. Illustrations are printed according to the Woodbury process of Lock & Whitfield, London, from negatives by Andrew Young, Burntisland ...Unless otherwise stated, the measurements of the stems were taken three feet from the ground.''
