The North American sylva; or, A description of the forest trees of the United States, Canada and Nova Scotia, considered particularly with respect to their use in the arts and their introduction into commerce, to which is added a description of the most useful of the European forest trees. Title varies: v. 4-5 reads The North American sylva; or, A description of the forest trees of the United States, Canada and Nova Scotia not described in the work of F. Andrew Michaux...by Thomas Nuttall. v. 1-3 form a new and corrected edition of the first English translation by A.L. Hillhouse (published in Paris, 1819) of Michaux's Histoire des arbres forestiers, Paris, 1800-13; v. 4-5 are a reprint of a work by T. Nuttall first published in 3 v. in Philadelphia, 1842-49.
