More than once, in my sporting excursions, in our 

 dense Laureritian ranges, I too have felt that peculiar 

 pleasure in the pathless woods, " that makes us " love 

 not man the less, but nature more." Without being a 

 scientist, I longed to cordially greet an association 

 of scientists, whose kindly mission, was to discuss in 

 our presence, the best methods to preserve our forests, 

 and to plant trees, readily consenting, at the meeting 

 of the Quebec citizens, to act as Chairman of the
