8 THE NEW FORESTRY. 



the extracts given on the subject of Continental forestry he is 

 indebted to the " Manual of Forestry," by Professor Schlich, 

 C.I.E., Ph.D., of Cooper's Hill College, and now so favourably 

 known to foresters in this country. The plates at the 

 beginning of the book, illustrative of German forestry, are from 

 photographs taken by the author's son, Mr. J. J. Simpson, 

 Agent to Captain Langdale, Hough ton Hall, York, and repre- 

 sent typical bits of some of the most noted German forests. 

 For the opportunity of securing these photographs and much 

 useful information given on the spot, the author has to thank 

 most cordially Dr. Kcenig, Prussian Forest Office, Lauterberg, 

 Hartz, and Herr Kallenbach, Forest Office, Thuringer Wald, 

 Eisenach, Saxe Wiemar two gentlemen very favourably 

 known in connection with their profession in Germany, and 

 not unknown to owners of woods in this country.
