Those interested in the early history of for- 



Barly estry in Germany will find a valuable con- 



German tribution in Dr. Mocker's article, which 



History. brings the text and the conditions leading 



up to it of one of the first, if not the first, 

 forest ordinances, that of 1379 for the city forest of Eger in 

 Bohemia, a city which was in existence before 1061 and on 

 record when King Henry IV handed over a part of the forest 

 to one of his vassals in fief. Later, it became again imperial 

 forest. The ordinance defines the rights of the citizens of Eger 

 in the use of the imperial forest. Such prescriptions as that no 

 building timber is to be cut into cordwood except by special per- 

 mission of the forester; that all hardwoods with the exception 

 of oak and basswood (bee-trees) were free to cut; that building 

 timber could only be cut under direction of the forester — show 

 that so early as the fourteenth century in some localities at least 

 conservative lumbering was in use. Much can be learned from 

 this article regarding the peculiar economic development of Ger- 

 man cities in early times.
