AUTHORITATIVE OPINIONS 



ON 



FORESTS AND MANKIND 



"There is no one so well qualified as Charles Lathrop Pack to write a 

 book on this most important and most interesting subject." John Hays 

 Hammond. 



^ S"It would be difficult to conceive of more or of more vital information 

 crowded into two hundred and fifty pages than Mr. Charles Lathrop Pack 

 Gill have assembled between the covers of FORESTS AND MANKIND, 



a comprehensive and humanistic treatment on the subject of Forestry. Yet 

 it is as readable as a romance. Science and history, statistic^ and economics, 

 technique and evangel are clothed in thought and language as interesting as 

 they are instructive. The "man on the Street" or "he who runs" not only 

 may read, but he will. It is an important and notable contribution to our 

 literature on Forestry. This popular-scientific treatise commanding its thou- 

 sands of readers will immeasurably further the cause of Forestry in America." 

 Charles W. Flint, Chancellor, Syracuse University. 



"FORESTS AND MANKIND will be a valuable contribution to the cause 

 of conservation of our forests and will prove a valuable guide to those who 

 wish to practice reforestation. The issuing of this book again puts the 

 Nation at least all those in the country who are wise enough to sense the 

 implications of deforestation deeply in debt to Dr. Pack." Ernest H. 

 Wilkins, President, Oberlin College. 



"The authors of FOREST AND MANKIND have given the public a splen- 

 did popular presentation of American Forests and forest life. The book is 

 comprehensive and well written. It merits a large sale." J. W. Tourney, 

 Professor of Silviculture, Yale School of Forestry. 



"I am sure that FORESTS AND MANKIND will be of value in further- 

 ing the interest in forestry in our country. Mr. Pack has been a pioneer 

 in this region and has blazed the way into a new territory and it would be 

 well for the citizens of our country to follow in the path which he has made 

 clear and plain." John Grier Hibben, President, Princeton University.
