A Primer of Fore.strv. Part i. — 
The Forest. By Gifford Pinchot, P'or- 
ester. Bulletin No. 24. V. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. 2d FMition. 
The important (juestion of F'orestry is 
at last assuming the position in the mind 
of the government, as one might say, 
that it should have occupied years ago. 
It is a happy conclusion, however, with 
which we can console ourselves that once 
taken hold of, the subject will be pur- 
sued until some practical results are ob- 
tained. In line with this view comes 
from the government printing office the 
first part of “A Primer of Fore.^try,” a 
work of clearly an educational tendency 
and profusely illustrated to ensure a com- 
plete understanding of the text. It deals 
with the units of the forest, with its 
character as a whole and with its enemies. 
In the words of the air.hor, “it may be 
said to sketch the foundation of the 
practice of forestry and of forest policy.” 
I'nder the following heads it deals with 
the question: The Eife of a Tree; Trees 
in the Forest; The Eife of a Forest, and 
Enemies of the F'orest.
