Western Mail: 5th September 1883

Forestry (Rider and Son, 14 Bartholomew Close, E.C.), an excellent periodical, edited by Mr. Francis George Heath, has an article well worth of the Welsh reader’s attention on “The Rarer Flora of Carnarvonshire” from the pen of A.D. Webster. Mr. Lewis Rayne furnished the Forest Work for the month for Wales. A well-timed paper is that on Burton Pynsent, a spot adjacent to Taunton, where the bust of Fielding was unveiled on Tuesday.
