Excerpt from Sixty Years Hence, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Where is there any other land, than England, home of the oak, which can exhibit that full and massive arboreal structure - rivalised only by the chesnut-tree-not of nature, but of Claude Lorraine? England, where the majestic oak and the lowly underwood look more complete and shapely, when stripped of: all their leaves, than the woods of more highly vaunted climes in their full foliage - where this luxuriancy of vegetation is not the partial result of an im tolerable sun, which, favouring one form of vegetable life, scorches up others from the arid soil - but, on the contrary, allied to eternal freshness. There is only England where the meadow relieves with its deep green, the wood lands, and the trees, when the wintry mist lingers about their base in hues of blue or purple, whilst the dense boughs and sapless leaves of their summits are bathed in sun light.
