BIBLIOGRAPHY. 493 



In the catalogue of the Library of the Royal Saxon Forest 

 Academy at Tharandt, pubHshed in 1900 and containing a Ust 

 of over 23,000 volumes, the subdivision entitled Forest Admin- 

 istration, Forest Politics, and Forest Statistics alone contains 

 731 titles. 



In the " Handwbrterbuch der Staatswissenschaften," edited 

 by Conrad, Elster, Lexis, and Loening (Jena, 1900, Gustav 

 Fisher), an excellent article on Forsten by M. Endres treats 

 the subject on 64 large 8vo pages very comprehensively and 

 somewhat in the manner of the present volume, in three 

 chapters, namely, I, Significance, Extent, and History of 

 Forests; II, Forest Management; III, Forest Politics. A 

 selected bibliography accompanies each chapter; the last 

 chapter more particularly referring to our subject contains 

 only 63 titles and the entire bibliography about 160 titles. 

 The writer is indebted for much statistical information to this 

 article. 



In the " Handbuch der Forstwissenschaft," edited by Dr. 

 Tuisko Lorey (Tiibingen, 1887, 3 vols, large 8vo), one of 

 the best encyclopaedic works for the professional forester, 

 J. Lehr, the author of the very complete chapter on Forest 

 Politics, contents himself with a bibliography of 24 titles. 



These four lists lay naturally all or special stress on German 

 publications. 



The French literature contains only few comprehensive 

 treatises on the subject, but a large amount of ephemeral or 

 magazine writings, especially on the reboisement of the 

 mountain forests, climatic influences, the duty of the state, etc. 

 The best journal of reference is " Revue des eaux et forets." 



The best work on the extensive reboisement operations of 

 the French government is that of Demontzey. 



The English literature shows a considerable dearth of 

 literature on all forestry subjects, except with reference to the 

 forests of India, the Indian Forester being now the only 

 English forestry journal since the Jour7tal of Forestry was 

 abandoned seventeen years ago.
