Abstract

THE output of forestry literature in America is becoming remarkable. In addition to several admirable periodical publications like the Forest Quarterly and the Proceedings of the Society of American Foresters, as well as the numerous bulletins, circulars, and miscellaneous works issued by the Forest Service at Washington, there are constantly appearing now useful text-books on the different branches of the science of forestry. These are especially valuable to us, as, with the exception of the standard works of Nisbet and Schlich, which are necessarily limited and stereotyped in scope, scarcely any serious books on forestry have appeared of late years in England. In arboriculture, which is the study of individual trees, on the contrary, English writers still keep up the tradition of Loudon and are in the first rank.
