" By a person who has for fifteen years had his attention almost entirely directed to the rearing of 

 forest trees, and whose observations are conveyed in a clear and readily intelligible manner. The sub- 

 ject is methodically treated of in all its departments, from the laying out of the ground, the fencing any 

 draining, to the cutting down of the trees, and the manner in which the wood ought to be prepared for 

 the market." — Scottish Farmer. 



" Mr James Brown, the forester at Arniston, near Dalkeith, has published his views of the subject in 

 a sensible, concise, and useful manner : and we can now refer to his volume as the book to be recom- 

 mended."— Gardeners' Chronicle.

" The work before us is a portable compendium, designed for the use of practical agriculturists, and 

 teaching the structure of the organs, and their functions, of the animal kingdom. The little book is a 

 model of condensation, embodying information as intensely interesting as it is profoundly useful. It is 

 plainly written, the best authorities cited, and, where plates or diagrams are necessary to explain the 

 text, they are well and abundantly given." — Bell's Life.

 neer. Crown Octavo, price 6s.

" We commend the work." — Mark Lane Express. 



" An excellent manual." — Morning Chronicle. 



" A more worthy and excellent plan could not have been conceived or better executed." — Carlisle
