The New Forestry, or the Continental System adapted to British Wood- 
lands and Game Preservation. By John Simpson. Second Edition. 
Pawson and Brailsford, Sheffield. 
The fact that within three years a second edition of Mr. Simpson’s 
book has been called for is a testimony to the appreciation by English 
landowners of his common-sense suggestions as to improved sylvicul- 
tural methods. While fully adopting the modem German principle 
of dense planting and light thinning, he does not think it necessary that 
the State should own all our woodlands, that we should cut them all 
down and replant on more scientific principles, or that we should abolish 
all game preservation. Underplanting, less heavy thinning, and denser 
planting in the future are all that is necessary ; but the rabbit, if required 
for “ sport,” must be confined to warrens. The result of following Mr. 
Simpson’s advice will, no doubt, be more and better timber and, there- 
fore, better estate returns, though the dense tall poles he advocates may 
not be as beautiful as some of our now ill-managed woods.
