562 1 EXPOSITION FORESTIERE INTERNATIONAL DE 1884, 
L’EXPOSITION FORESTIERE INTERNATIONAL DE 1884, 
tEPORT BY Proressor Reuss, or tHE Nancy Forest ScHoot, 
ON THE Forestry EXuieition AT EDINBURGH IN 1884, 
It is with much pleasure that we solicit the attention of Scottish 
foresters, and the public in general, to a valuable Report by Pro- 
fessor Reuss, of the Nancy Forest School, on the International 
Forestry Exhibition, held at Edinburgh in 1884. Professor Reuss 
was deputed by the French Government to report on the Exhibi- 
tion, and a large portion of his Report was published by it in the 
Minutes of the Agricultural Department, to which the forests are 
attached. As, however, the Report contains a great amount of 
matter highly interesting to foresters, but not expressly bearing on 
the Exhibition, and therefore not published in the Proceedings of 
the French Government, the Professor has determined to publish 
the Report in extenso at his own expense, hoping to recoup the 
cost of publication by its sale. It is now offered for sale at 3 frs. 
73 cents, or 3s. British. The Report, which is perhaps the most 
comprehensive and detailed yet published on our Exhibition, covers 
162 pages octavo, and is divided into four Chapters, besides an 
Introductory Preface, a Conclusion, and eight Appendices, There 
is also an excellent Index. 
The Preface treats of the present condition of Forest science and 
management in Great Britain and its Colonies, the object of the 
Exhibition, the building itself, and the general arrangement of its 
contents. 
Cuapter I. is divided into three parts :— 
Part 1 treats of the Crown forests of England, and the exhibits 
sent from them ; also of Kew Gardens, Epping Forest, and private 
forest properties and parks. 
Part 2 treats of the forests in Scotland, both in the Highlands 
and Lowlands, which were personally visited by Professor Reuss 
on a former occasion ; also of the exhibits sent from them, as well 
as by the ScorrisH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY, 
Part 3 refers to the forest literature of Scotland, and especially 
to the works on forestry by Dr Croumbie Brown. 
Cuapter II. refers to British India, its forests, forest service, 
and forest literature, as well as the exhibits sent from there.
