' Eacli 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.
