riii PREFACE. 



prescribed for the institution of Agriculture and Forestry 

 at Novoi Alexandra. 



It is my belief that a light will be found thrown upon 

 any or all of these notices of Schools of Forestry if the 

 reader have, previous to the examination of them, glanced 

 at a volume published by me entitled : Introduction to the 

 Study of Modern Forest Economy ; and in connection with 

 this, another entitled French Forest Ordinance of 1669, 

 with Historical Sketch of Previous Treatment of Forests in 

 France.
