THE FORESTER. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON 



BRITISH FORESTRY AND ARBORICULTURE. 

 By 



JOHN NISBET, D.CEc., 



Formerly Conservator of Forests, Burma. 

 "Must find a place in all country-house libraries." Field. 



For many years ' Brown's Forester ' has been the valued handbook of 

 British foresters, and it has had much to do in the training of foresters 

 in Scotland, who still retain much of their supremacy in a craft they have 

 enjoyed for so long a time. The last or sixth edition was published in 

 1894, and the book now published is practically a new work, in which 

 Dr Nisbet has incorporated, in a condensed and improved form, the essence 

 of all the other books he has written on forestry during the last thirteen 

 years, together with much original matter dealing specially with conditions 

 in the United Kindgom, the whole thus forming a complete treatise giving 

 consideration both to theoretical principles and to practice. In the preface 

 we are further told that "these new volumes are intended to serve as a 

 text-book dealing chiefly with British forestry and arboriculture (two really 

 separate branches of rural economy which have usually been synonymous 

 in Britain), and with the reasonable possibilities there are of improving the 

 existing condition of our woodlands and of planting waste land for the 

 growth of timber on a business principle with a fair prospect of profit."
