 companion volume on the Schools of Forestry in 

 Germany, the Fatherland of Modern Forest Economy,

 this I have given accounts of the Schools of Forestry in 

 Saxony, Prussia, Hanover, Saxe Weimar, Hesse Darmstadt, 

 Baden, Wurtemburg, and Bavaria; with notices of an 

 exhaustive discussion of the relative advantages of 

 having a School of Forestry in the country in immediate

 and observation established at the sites of Schools 

 of Forestry. 



In connection with this intimation I may mention that 

 in the Plea, &c., to which I have referred, I have given 

 notices more or less extended, of the existing Schools of 

 Forestry in Russia, Saxony, Hanover, Hesse Darmstadt, 

 Wurtemburg, Bavaria, Austria, Poland, Russia, Finland, 

 Sweden, France, Italy, and Spain.
