Abstract
“DER Lehrbuch der Baumkrankheiten von R. Hartig” has now appeared in English with all the admirable illustrative plates of the second edition, except the coloured plates at the end of the book, which represent spruce and oak wood decomposing under the influence of different fungi, and are therefore somewhat exterior to the proposed scope of the work, “the diseases of trees.” The original, as Marshall Ward states in the preface to the present version, owes its great charm “to the simple method of exposition of the facts and principles conveyed, as well as to the astounding richness of the information it contains. This is unquestionably owing to Hartig's prominence as the leading investigator and authority on the fungoid diseases of forest trees.”
Text-Book of the Diseases of Trees.
Prof. R. Hartig, of Munich University. Translated by W. Somerville, Professor of Agriculture and Forestry, Durham College of Science, Newcastle. Revised and edited by Prof. H. Marshall Ward, F.R.S. (London and New York: Macmillan and Co., 1894.)
