Abstract
THE present work is described, as a reprint of a series of papers on “Practical Forestry,” which appeared in the Land Agent's Record, and the author's object in republishing his ideas on practical forestry is to promote and encourage the study of true forestry among the British land-owners and land agents, and especially to impress upon students the necessity of acquiring a sound practical knowledge of a branch of land economy so long neglected and ignored. So far so good; but when the author says, “I trust this publication will be the means of spreading this object more widely” (sic), we fear that he will be grievously disappointed.
Practical Forestry: its Bearing on the Improvement of Estates.
By Charles E. Curtis, Professor of Forestry, Surveying, and General Estate Management at the College of Agriculture, &c. (London: Land Agent's Record Office, 1888.)
