Science for foresters: Or, A practical introduction to chemistry, geology, vegetable physiology, and botany, as aids in the selection of sites and soils, and the profitable growth of trees

The present little work comprises part of a scheme sketched out many year ag0 and the object of which was to provide the young forester who often has but little leisure for consulting larger works with a manual for his guidance and assistance in every department of his labours. It was intended to include in a moderate-sized volume :(1) Science for Foresters; (2) Practical Forestry ;(3) Timber Trees, thiair sites, soils, uses, beauties, c.; (4) a Forester s Calendar, Materials for the completion of such a work were put together and require only revision and arrangement. Meanwhile the following pages are issued as one of the useful series of Forestry Handbooks, with a hope that they may to some extent conduce to the more scientific and intelligent prosecution of labours which are of primary importance to landowners and to the nation at large.
