| Summary | "Sylva; Or, A Discourse of Forest Trees" by John Evelyn is a scientific publication written in the late 17th century. This seminal work focuses on forestry, detailing the ecology and cultivation of various species of trees, and emphasizes the importance of timber for various uses." The opening of the text introduces the author, John Evelyn, and outlines his significant contributions to the scholarly exploration of forestry during a period marked by the restoration of the monarchy in England. The introduction also highlights Evelyn's esteemed position among contemporaries such as Izaak Walton and Samuel Pepys, setting the stage for a work that intertwines scientific inquiry with a personal narrative of his life and interests. This foundation prepares readers for a deep dive into various aspects of tree cultivation and their significance to both nature and society, as Evelyn articulates his views and experiences related to forest trees.
