INTRODUCTION. 



THE present volume deals with Practical Sylviculture. 

 Under that term is understood * the production of woods 

 or forests, that is to say all operations connected with the 

 formation and tending of woods until they become ripe 

 for the axe. The fundamental principles which guide 

 the forester in this business have been explained in 

 Part II. of this Manual ; it now remains to apply them 

 to Practical Sylviculture. 



The subject has been divided into the following 

 chapters : 



CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARY WORKS . 



II. FORMATION OF WOODS, EITHER BT 

 ARTIFICIAL OR NATURAL MEANS. . 



III. TENDING OF WOODS. 



IV. SYLVICULTURAL NOTES ON BRITISH
