Excerpt from The Eucalypti Hardwood Timbers of Tasmania, and the Tasmanian Ornamental and Softwood Timbers: A Descriptive Treatise on Their Commercial Uses, With Reports on Their Durability The chief object we have in presenting this publication to the Timber Trade throughout the World is not only to direct attention to the increasing value and importance of the Timber Industry of Tasmania, but also to afford useful general information, in a handy form, concerning our Timbers, and their Commercial uses, with Reports bearing on their Durability, for the advantage of intending buyers. We hope this handbook may achieve our purpose, and prove interesting, as well as the Photographic, Views we have selected and inserted, which we have had taken at different times, with the aim of appropriately illumining the letterpress, and as a means of illustrating the methods under which Timber-getting is conducted in the Forests of Tasmania. Shipping and Agency Work form part of our business, and Tonnage for Interstate or Foreign Freights consigned to us will be dealt with to the best advantage. Timber Export has been our study for many years, and we may fairly claim to rank second to none in this particular line.
