Abstract


In this age of Industry, when improvements are making rapid progress in all other corners of Great Britain, the Highlands of Scotland are much neglected. The Highlands may be made the capital FOREST of Great Britain; the grand magazine of the nation for ship-building timber; and it is capable of being made a very large one, and, in time, the best and most convenient in all Europe.
