FORESTRY 

 LIBRARY 



PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. 



To the author at least, it is gratifying to know that in ten 

 years three editions of Practical Forestry have been sold out, and 

 that a fourth is urgently called for. 



Several important chapters are now added, particularly with 

 reference to Afforesting Waste Lands, and The Education of Foresters, 

 on both of which questions the author had the honour of giving evidence 

 before the Departmental Committee on Forestry of the Board of 

 Agriculture. 



Regent's Park, 1905.
