Forestry Literature. 91

While at first the ephemeral writings, especially the 

 polemic ones of the empiricists, found room in literary 

 and cameralistic magazines, the need of a professional 

 journal first found expression in 1763, in Stahl's 

 Allgemeines okonomisches Forstmagazin, which ran into 

 twelve volumes, and contains many articles important 

 to the history of forestry, and is especially rich in its 

 references to foreign literature. 



Two continuations of the magazine under different 

 editorships were of less value. But von Moser's 

 Forstarchiv, running from 1788 to 1807 with its thirty 

 volumes, is an authority and a historical source of the 

 first rank. 



A very characteristic literature of the last half of the 

 18th century consisted in forest calendars in which 

 advice as to monthly and seasonal procedures in the 

 forest were given, Beckman and Zanthier being among 

 the authors. 



III. Development in the Nineteenth Century. 



The last hundred years or so has seen in Germany 

 the development of fully established forest policies 

 and the complete organization of stable forest 

 administrations, based upon thorough and careful 

 recognition of the principles of forest manage- 

 ment and intensive application of silvicultural 

 methods.
