Sir Harald G. He wet t, Bart., refers as follows to " The New 

 Forestry," in an article in " The Field" of 



December 2ist., 1901. 



" If you are going to grow Timber, let me entreat you at 

 once to buy, beg, or borrow The New Forestry ', by Simpson. 

 Simpson's book is dear, but it is worth any money to a beginner. I 

 am advising you for your good, not for Simpson's. He needs no 

 advertisement from me." 



From the "Agricultural Students' Gazette," April, 1903. 



Edited at The Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. 

 " I should like to recommend most strongly ' The New Forestry,' 

 by John Simpson, apractical forester, and published at Sheffield."

In a prominent article in Chambers 1 Journal, of October, 

 1900, entitled " Forestry for beauty and use," the following 

 reference is made to Mr. Simpson's book " We have pleasure in

From "The North British Agriculturist 



" The chief interest of the book lies in the fact of its being

 practice, and who is thoroughly convinced that hitherto it has 

 been conducted on wrong lines. As such it will appeal to 

 practical foresters who have not had much in the way of a 

 scientific sylvicultural training, and who might, perhaps, find 

 some little difficulty to begin with in the more highly technical 

 works of Schlich, Nisbet and others. The author himself has 

 visited Germany, and has seen on the spot the methods which are 

 practised there. He is therefore able to speak of the continental
