REVIEWS AND NOTICES OF BOOKS. 215 



The Law of Foj-estry in Great Britain and Ireland, comprising 

 the Laxv relating to Trees and the Law relating to Trespass and 

 Game, xlviii + 400 pp., including index and tables. By 

 Benaiah W. Adkin, Fellow of the Surveyors' Institution, 

 etc. Price los. London : The Estates Gazette, Ltd. 



The author writes in an interesting manner and very fully on 

 the English law on these subjects, and adds short chapters dealing 

 with Scots and Irish law. The book will be very useful to 

 landowners, agents, students and others interested in forestry in 

 England, and also, although in a less degree, to such readers in 

 Scotland and Ireland, while members of the legal profession will 

 welcome it as a valuable addition to their library. A full index 

 and exhaustive table of cases enhance the value of the work. 



Wood-Pulp and its Uses. By C. F. Cross, E. J. Bevan, and 

 R. W. SiNDALL, with the collaboration of W. N. Bacon. 

 xi + 270 pp., with 25 illustrations. Price 6s. net. London : 

 Constable & Company, Ltd., 191 1. 



The above work deals in a very lucid and interesting manner 

 with the highly important industrial subject of wood-pulp. From 

 cover to cover the work contains a great amount of valuable and 

 interesting information concerning an important industry to 

 which we have in the past paid far too little attention. The 

 authors do not claim that the book is an exhaustive monograph 

 of the subject, but they have managed to encompass within 

 remarkably reasonable dimensions a wonderfully complete 

 account, from the theoretical, scientific and industrial points of 

 view, of the constituents of wood and especially of cellulose. 



To the forester who grows the wood, and to the technological 

 expert whose scientific methods and knowledge enables him to 

 derive materials of the highest industrial importance from that 

 wood, this work will come as a welcome addition to the present 

 literature of the subject. 



The book touches in many places on the past history of wood- 

 pulp, which is an extremely interesting history ; but of equal 

 interest and certainly of greater practical importance is the clear 

 and concise information given regarding the present position of 

 the industries which rely on wood-pulp as their raw material ; 

 and last but not least many suggestive hints are given which 

 indicate possible lines for further investigation, that is, the lines 

 along which future research might be pursued with a view to
