Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Original small caps are now uppercase. Italics look _like this_. Footnotes have been converted to endnotes labeled 1–69, and moved to the end of the appropriate book division—i.e. Introduction, Parts I–IV, or Appendix. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “onnavaltimberarb00matt”. Page iii. Changed “EDINDURGH” to “EDINBURGH”. Page xiv. Changed “and and” to “and”. Page 216. Changed “in in” to “in”. Page 218. The phrase “3s. per do.” was changed to “3s. per load,”. Page 325n. Changed “coutnries” to “countries”. Page 326. Changed “Eygpt” to “Egypt”. Page 346. Ditto marks in the first table, “do.   do.” were changed to “, from one to three years transplanted,”. Page 351. Changed “unweildy” to “unwieldy”. Page 386. Changed “mpressions” to “impressions”. Page 391, ERRATA. The errata have been applied to the text in the proper locations. The correction for page 327 l.6 from bottom had already been applied in the edition which is the basis for this transcription. The correction for page 331 l. 10 from bottom cannot be applied, as there was no “root” or “row” on that line. There was, however, a “row” on line 8 from the bottom, so perhaps the correction had already been applied. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of On Naval Timber and Arboriculture, by Patrick Matthew
