Text Appearing Before Image:
1814 ARBORETUM AND FRUT1CETUM. PART II
Text Appearing After Image:
The stems of many trees were torn off within a few feet of the ground; and Others merely had the head or branches broken, without being entirely detached. (See//g. 1644.) Whole trunks, huge limbs and branches, with immense masses of earth, were mingled on the ground in such a manner as to give the idea of a battery of heavy artillery having been directed against the tn-cs in that part of the park. In some instances the stems exhibited "the appearance Of having been cut W, and in others they are rent from top to bottom, or have had their giant limbs twisted off", as if they had been but so many twigs." Lofty oaks were struck near their summits, and immense portions of their upper limbs and branches were torn down, but not quite severed from the trunk, and, with their heads resting on the ground, formed "a sort of tent of foliage upwards of .'{Oft. high .... Several oaks had at least a dozen immense hranrhci torn off, while the bare and desolate-looking trunk was left standing; Hid, in i• i;11j v instance's the limbs and branches of standing trees were twisted
