Forests and Forestry in Poland, Lithuania, the Ukraine, and the Baltic Provinces of Russia, With Notices of the Export of Timber from Memel, Dantzig, and Riga (Classic Reprint)

Spring of 1877 I published a Brochure entitled The Schools of Forestry in Europe :a Plea for the Creation of a School of Forestry in connection with the Arboretum in Edinburgh, in which, with details of the arrangements made for instruction in Forest Science in Schools of Forestry in Prussia, Saxony, Hanover, Hesse, Darmstadt, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, A ustria, Poland, Russia, Finland, Sweden, France, I taly, and Spain, and details of arrangements existing in Edinburgh for instruction in most of the subjects included amongst preliminary studies, I submitted for consideration the opinion that with the acquisition of this A rboretum, and with the existing arrangements for study in the University of Edinburgh, and in the Watt Institution and School of A rts, there are required only facilities for the study of what is known on the Continent as Forest Science to enable these Institutions conjointly, or any one of them, with the help of the others, to take a place amongst the most completely equipped Schools of Forestry in Europe, and to undertake the training of foresters for the discharge of such duties as are now required of them in I ndia, in our Colonies, and at home.
