BOOK REVIEWS 



Forests, Woods and Trees In Kelat 

 to Hygiene, by Augustine Henry, Profe.- 

 of Forestry, Royal College of Science, Dub- i 

 lin. An effort is made in this book to in- 

 terest the statesman, the student of ecoi 

 mics, the engineer, the physician and the 

 layman, as well as the forester, in certain J 

 aspects of forests and trees, about which 

 vague notions are prevalent. An endea- 

 vour is made in the first two chapter- 

 recognize and describe the far-reaching in- 

 fluences of forests and trees on climatej 

 flow of water, erosion of the soil, shi 

 from wind, purity of air and water, etc! 

 Such influences affect directly tin 

 and comfort of man. The value of forest! 

 districts as sites for sanatoria and the his- 

 tory and utility of parks, open spaces, and 

 trees in towns are then discussed. Thel 

 afforestation of the desolate pit mounds :> 

 the Black Country and other districts is] 

 shown to be a movement of great interest* 

 especially when, as in some cases, it isl 

 taken up by school children. 



One effect of the war has to bring homel 

 to thinking people the extreme importance 

 of afforestaion. The concluding chapters 

 of the book are, with great fitness for thel 

 times, devoted to a study of the afforesta-J 

 tion of the extensive gathering grounds,] 

 from which so many of the great centres! 

 of population obtain their supplies of 

 water. No pains have been spared in*] 

 obtaining statistics and information as tol 

 the physical features, ownership, and exJ 

 tent of these gathering grounds. The workj 

 of planting suitable portions of these areas! 

 with the aid of disbanded soldiers 1 

 might be undertaken at once, without! 

 any disturbance to other industries.^ 

 Their afforestation in any case should] 

 be linked up with the general ] 

 scheme of afforestation of the waste lands 

 of Great Britain and Ireland, which it is] 

 confidently expected will be undertaken byi 

 the State as soon as peace is made. Scat| 

 tered as the gathering grounds are^l 

 throughout the country, they will form 

 convenient centres for planting, more 

 especially in the cases where their owner- 

 ship has been acquired by local authori- 

 ties. The compulsory purchase of catch- ' 

 ment areas, which are not already owned 

 by municipalities, is advisable for sanitary 

 reasons ; and the necessary legislation may 

 possibly be introduced when afforestation 

 by the State becomes a reality.
