Forestry. Translated from the German of Dr Adam Schwappach 

 by Fraser Story and Eric A. Nobbs, Ph.D., B.Sc, 

 F.H.A.S. The Temple Cyclopaedic Primers. London: 

 Dent & Co., 1904. Price is. net. 



These Primers are small volumes of " condensed information 

 introductory to great subjects." That before us is a translation, 

 abridged in some parts and expanded in others, in order to 

 better adapt it to English requirements, of Professor Schwappach's 

 Forstwissejischaft. It commences by giving a short historical 

 sketch of the development of forestry, and this is followed by 

 chapters on forest statistics, forest influences, sylviculture, tending 

 of woods, forest protection, forest utilisation, forest management, 

 forest finance, and forest economics ; and a number of illustrations 

 have been added by the translators, which have considerably 

 enhanced the value of the book. Alike to the practical forester, 

 the student of forestry, and all those who take a general interest 

 in the subject, this little book will prove of great use as a 

 stepping-stone to the more elaborate treatises, and its price will 

 bring it within the reach of all. A. D. R.
