The commencement of the publication of this second 

 series originated in an unexpected offer from a National 

 Association to contribute £10 towards the publication of 

 the first of a series of like treatises which it was known I 

 had prepared, and in regard to which the Council of the 

 Association expressed the opinion that the successive 

 publication of them would certainly contribute to further 

 the ends the Society had in view. 



To this offer I replied : — " I am prepared to add £30 

 to the £10 spoken of, or any larger amount, in like pro- 

 portion to whatever sum may be contributed by the 

 Society, and therewith to publish without delay at my own 

 risk an edition of 500 copies of that portion of the treatise 

 which refers to England ; thereafter, so soon as what may 

 be realised by sales will suffice for the purpose, to do the 

 same with what relates to Scotland ; and thereafter, so 

 soon as what may be realised by sales of both will suffice 

 for the purpose, publishing what relates to Ireland." 



The design was to supply a treatise on Forest Manage- 

 ment and Arboriculture in Great Britain and Ireland ; but 

 this, it was found, could best be accomplished by the publi- 

 cation ot a series of volumes, each of them complete in 

 itself. In the first volume of the series, that now published, 

 The Forests of England and the Management of them in Byegone 

 Times, information is supplied in regard to several Crown 

 Forests, Chases, Parks, Warrens, and Woods; ib is shown
