Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forester, Vol. 1 of 2: A Practical Treatise on British Forestry and Arboriculture for Landowners, Land Agents, and Foresters Although based on the sixth edition of The Forester (1894), the book now published is in reality a new work, in which is incorporated, in a condensed and improved form, the essence of all the other books I have written on Forestry during the last thirteen years, together with much original matter dealing specially with conditions in the United Kingdom, - the whole forming a complete treatise giving full consideration both to theoretical principles and to practice. The only portions where any resemblance to Brown's The Forester could still be retained are (1) the two chapters now arranged as Part II., The British Sylva; (2) part of chapter vii., Concerning Arboriculture, in Part III.; and (3) some of the details regarding Fencing in Part IV., chapter ii. But all of these have been greatly altered from their original form; and the only parts of the old book that have been reproduced consist of a few extracts, mainly about practical work in former days, which I have quoted here and there, wherever appropriate. These new volumes are intended to serve as a text-book dealing chiefly with British Forestry and Arboriculture (two really separate branches of Rural Economy, which have usually been synonymous in Britain), and with the reasonable possibilities there are of improving the existing condition of our woodlands, and of planting waste land for the growth of timber on business principles, with a fair prospect of profit.
