Abstract
THE work on the development of British forestry by Mr. A. C. Forbes, Chief Forestry Inspector to the department of Agriculture for Ireland, will be welcomed by all interested in the question of afforestation. The author deals with his subject in a lucid and convincing manner. To add to the interest of the book, a large number of excellent photographs illustrating the various types of tree-growth in different soils and localities has been included. These alone form a remarkable and instructive photographic survey of the forest conditions not only within the British Empire, but also to some extent on the Continent.
