TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



In sending a Second Edition of this work 

 into the world, the Author has great sa- 

 tisfaction in announcing the very favour- 

 able reception the first has met with : 

 not so much because it may have served 

 to gratify or benefit himself, as because 

 it is a convincing proof that men are be- 

 ginning to observe how defective the 

 general management of Timber is, and 

 hence are disposed to receive any infor- 

 mation which has a tendency to improve 

 it. 



As care had been taken, in the first in- 

 stance, not to disseminate crude opinions, 

 so the increased experience of two years 

 has presented the author with little that 

 seemed to require correction, except a 

 few inaccuracies, and some trifling errors 

 of the press. The additions, which are 

 chiefly explanatory, will be found among
