Abstract
PROF. STEBBING'S work deals with the history of forest conservancy inIndia from the time of the recent Post-Tertiary period' to the present time. In volume i. he gives the history from the earliest date to the year 1864; in volume ii. from 1864 to 1900; the period 1900 to the present time is reserved for volume iii., not yet published. The matter assigned to volume i. is further divided into four sub-periods, the last of which comprises the years 1857–1863. Volume ii. is divided into two sub-periods, the first of which comprises the years 1864–1870. The author then, in a way, throws these two sub-periods together again and says that the fourteen years, 1857–1870, witnessed the true foundation of forest conservancy in the different provinces of the Indian Empire.
