Catalogue of collection of woods made by a German and acquired by Charles Holtzappfel in the early part of the XIXth century. It is referred to in Vol, I of Turnery & Mechanical Manipulation published in 1843. The collection was rearranged and added to by me in 1930-31 during the course of my investigation into the turning properties of the hardwoods of the British Empire, by specimens of the woods inve, stigated during that enquiry. The original specimens are labelled in German as well as with the botanical names. GL Hetherington. See note book with item for the list of woods contained therein.
