Talk:Sylva, or A Discourse of Forest-Trees and the Propagation of Timber

This is a very important reference work dating from 1662 (first paper for the Royal Forestry) and subsequently many editions of a book with the same title from 1664 onwards. This should have its own page on wikipedia. It should be linked to from the John Evelyn page. Earthtree (talk) 11:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

As part of WikiProject Royal Society a special photo session in the Royal Society Library in London has resulted in Commons:Category:Royal Society Library, with over 50 photos of their treasures, mostly 17th century manuscripts, including several of the 1st edn of Sylva, one of the early minute books, Boyle's notebooks etc, the manuscript fair copy of Newton's Principia etc. Please add these as appropriate. Thanks! Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 22:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
