The sight of the great green hills with their skirts clothed with wood, with trees straggling upwards along the water-courses, the miniature crags escaping from oak-coppices, the black heads of bleak mountains, filled him with an exquisite and speechless delight.
The age at which the oak should be felled for ship-timber, &c., depends on many circumstances, and is fixed by different authorities at from eighty to a hundred and fifty years. Oaks are said to be more liable than other trees to be struck by lightning. Oak-coppices or "little woods" are cut over at from twelve to thirty years old. The bark is valuable as well as the wood.
