SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



Journal of Forestry. — " As a practical text-book for the young 

 forester the work is invaluable, and no intelligent young man fol- 

 lowing the profession ought to rest satisfied until he is in possession 

 of a copy, and has carefully studied it in all its details. There is 

 scarcely a point on any practical subject connected with forestry 

 upon which the work may not be consulted with advantage, even 

 by men of considerable experience." 



Land and Watbr. — "There are some methods of tree-culture in 

 different parts of the world of interest to the English forester which 

 are now for the first time brought before the arboriculturist and fully 

 described. But this is only one feature of a book which is exhaus- 

 tive in its treatment of all subjects connected with forestry. It is 

 an authoritative guide, and a reference book which no forester should 

 be without." 



Pall Mall Gazette. — "Dr Brown has condensed a perfect ency- 

 clopedia of everything relating to woodcraft as now understood and 

 practised in every imrt of the civilised world." 



Morning Post. — " In nearly 1000 pages, we have here all that any 

 one can desire, either as history of forest trees, or their life history, 

 or their practical management. "
