The spirit of the woods, illustrated by coloured engravings. By the author of "The moral of flowers."

London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longman, 1837.

Little is known of the anonymous author of this early illustrated work on trees except that she was also "Mrs. William Hey" and had previously published The moral of flowers. The beautiful hand-colored plates presumably were reproduced from paintings by the author. She identified herself as "Mrs. Hey" in the expanded edition of 1849 retitled Sylvan musings, or the spirit of the woods.
