The North American Sylva; or, A Description of the Forest Trees of the United States, Canada and Nova Scotia. Philadelphia: D. Rice & A.N. Hart, 1857.Charles Evans's set of this most important work on American trees. "Few American color plate books had such lasting popularity as this classic work on American trees, or as tangled a publication history... In 1856 a fire destroyed the premises of the publisher of the joint edition. The Michaux plates were saved, but the Nuttall stones were evidently lost, and the later joint editions used new stones" (Stamped with a National Character). "Of the two works united, it is no exagerration to remark that it is the most complete work of its kind, and is a production of unrivalled interest and beauty (Sabin).
