Excerpt from Forestry for Woodmen This book is, by permission, based on Schlich's Manual of Forestry. It has been written to supply a cheap book on scientific forestry for foresters and woodmen, few of whom can afford the more expensive works, and was at first drawn up for the use of the School of Forestry for Working Men in the Forest of Dean. I am greatly indebted to Sir William Schlich, K. C. I. E., F. R. S., Professor of Forestry in the University of Oxford, and to the late Mr. W. R. Fisher, under whom I studied the subject while at Cooper's Hill College, forgiving me permission to make use of the Manual of Forestry and to reproduce some of the illustrations from that work. I have also referred in Chapter I to Gifford Pinchots A Primer of Forestry and to Bridges sand Dicks's Plant Study; I have occasionally referred to Nisbet's The Forester Forbess English Estate Forestry Simpsons The New Forestry and The Estate Nursery, The part on hedges is indebted to Maidens Hedges and Hedgemaking. Most of the photographs were taken by myself; some are by Mr. R. C. Milward or Mr. M. C. Duchesne, who have kindly allowed me to reproduce them. The other illustrations are from Schlich's Manual. My thanks are due to Mr. E. P. Popert, Consulting Forester to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and to Mr. A. G. Hobart-Hampden, Agent to the Earl of Bucking-hamshire, both retired Conservators of the Indian Forest Department, for reading through the manuscript and for much valuable advice and help in its preparation, and to Professor J. Bretland Farmer for revising the botanical part of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
