 sosischer u englisher sprache Seransg. v. d. Buckandl. v. Gerold 

 and Co., in Wien, 1873, a valuable catalogue filling 278 

 pages in large octavo." 



This volume is published as a small contribution to the 

 literature of Britain, on subjects pertaining to Forest 

 Science. 



It is after due consideration that the form given to the 

 work — that of a compilation of what has been stated in 

 works previously published — has been adopted. 



It will be followed by another — now in the press— a 

 translation of the famous Forest Ordinance of France of 

 1669, with notices of the previous treatment of Forests 

 in that country.
