f Each of Dr Brown's works is complete in itself, though 

 an integral part of a series of volumes in course of publica- 

 tion designed to familiarise students of Forestry with the 

 applications being made of Forest Economy in different 

 lands; and Dr Brown's personal acquaintance with the 

 systems pursued in most countries of the Continent of 

 Europe has been of special service to the Jury of this 

 class/ 



For these works on Forestry a Silver Medal was sub- 

 sequently awarded by the Executive Committee of the 

 Exhibition. 



The following volume is designed, along with others, to 

 supply to British students of Forestry some of the advan- 

 tages to be obtained from foreign travel. 



It is on principle that the form of compilation has been 

 adopted.
