The publications mentioned in the foregoing list will afford ample information on 

 all the details of forestry and matters relating to it. The list, though comprehensive, 

 is not intended to be a complete one. In fact, nine-tenths or more of the books 

 relating to this subject are foreign publications of which no translations have been made. 

 The tracts, the text of which follows here, will doubtless appear to some of our 

 readers as trite and simple — as a mere repetition of what has already been said in one 

 way or another on the same topics. But they were not written for those who have 

 made a study of forestry. They are for the use of the thousands to whom the subject 

 is new, and whose attention is called to it for the first time. Hence no attempt is 

 made at scientific discussion, or to furnish technical information. If by the perusal of 

 these little pamphlets the people of our State should take an increased interest in the 

 preservation of our forests and their proper management, the object sought for in 

 their preparation will be accomplished.
