Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Manchester Quarterly, 1911, Vol. 30: A Journal of Literature and Art
Have been to see the truncated bole of a tree of substantial growth, with rockwork of limestone round about it, which is being preserved on the green turf within the boundary of a recreation ground, in that district of the city known as Moss Side. There are some other trees near it, and still living, that have been its companions in later years, but they were young by comparison with this one. The sight of it induced a mood of mind such as that which Wordsworth was indulging in when he said there's a Tree of many, one, A single field which I have looked upon, Both of them speak of something that is gone.
