ENGLISH ESTATE FORESTRY 
record of individual experience it is offered as a small con¬ 
tribution to forestry literature, which, if it does not enrich, 
it will not, it is hoped, disgrace. 
To the woodland proprietor it may also prove more 
suggestive than instructive. ITe will, at any rate, find its 
few recommendations in accord with his own interests, and 
that both Sport and Landscape Effect have been dealt with 
sympathetically. That both these matters can be considered 
in practical forestry without prejudicially affecting economic 
sylviculture to some extent, is scarcely to be expected; but 
with a little sacrifice on the side of each, and a fair amount 
of common-sense practice, they can succeed side by side 
without great difficulty. 
In conclusion, it may be pointed out that this book is 
not, nor does it make a pretence of being, a text-book. The 
intelligent reader, therefore, who discovers that it does not 
contain a Planter’s Guide, nor a reference to more than one 
work on German Forestry, is requested not to despise it on 
that account, nor to conclude prematurely that the Author 
has written on a subject he knows nothing about.
