On Naval Timber and Arboriculture - With Critical Notes on Authors Who Have Recently Treated the Subject of Planting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a title page from a seminal work by Scottish farmer and inventor Patrick Matthew. Published in 1831, this book was a groundbreaking contribution to the fields of naval timber and arboriculture, two areas of great importance during the Victorian era. The title page, as seen in this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, reveals the comprehensive scope of Matthew's work. The title itself highlights the dual focus of the book, with "On Naval Timber" addressing the strategic importance of trees for the Royal Navy, and "Arboriculture" dealing with the cultivation and care of trees more broadly. The addition of "with critical notes on authors who have recently treated the subject of planting" indicates Matthew's intention to engage with the work of his contemporaries and contribute to the ongoing discourse in these fields. Patrick Matthew's work predates Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" by over 20 years, but his ideas on natural selection and the role of trees in naval warfare have long been overshadowed by Darwin's more famous theories. However, recent reevaluations of Matthew's work, such as the Darwin200 project, have shed new light on his contributions to the scientific community. Matthew's "On Naval Timber and Arboriculture" was published in 1831, during the 19th century when Britain's maritime power was at its height. The book's practical advice on tree cultivation for naval purposes was highly relevant to the time, making it an essential read for those involved in the navy and forestry industries. This title page serves as a testament to Matthew's forward-thinking approach and his significant impact on the understanding of both naval timber and arboriculture during the Victorian era.
