Excerpt from The Woods of the United States The American Museum of Natural History is indebted to its enlightened and public-spirited President, Mr. Morris K. Jesup, for a magnificent collection of woods, which display, for the first time in a satisfactory manner, the forest wealth of the United States. The conception of this collection belongs to Mr. Jesup. The forests of the United States are not surpassed by those of any other country in the variety and value of the timbers which they produce. Many of these are little known or appreciated commercially; and it was the belief of the founder of this collection that the opportunity it would afford to engineers, architects, and mechanics to examine specimens of the material produced by the forests of the whole country would be of great and immediate practical utility to the community, and that the presence of such a collection in the Museum of Natural History would facilitate the scientific and industrial study of the Sylva of this country, and develop a popular interest in forests and forest science. Mr. Jesup s collection is the outgrowth of an investigation of the forest wealth of this country commenced by me more than five years ago. The results of that investigation have been published in Vol. IX. of the final Reports of the Tenth Census, which this collection will serve to illustrate. The trees of the United States are represented in the Museum by large and characteristic trunk specimens, arranged in the sequence of their botanical relationship. These specimens are cut in such a manner as to display the bark, and cross and longitudinal sections of the wood, both polished and in its natural condition.
