Abstract
IN NATURE of July 23, 1891 (vol. xliv. p. 265), Sir Dietrich Brandis, K.C.I.E., reviewed the first edition of the above volume. He then prophesied a great, future for Prof. Schlich's work. That the prophecy was not a vain one has been amply proved by the test of time. The book reached the second edition in 1897, and has now passed into the third. There is no preface to this edition, but the arrangement of the former editions has, on the whole, beem retained; however, the subject-matter has been some-what differently classified. The present volume consists of four parts—each part is divided into chapters, and sections, which are further subdivided as occasion demands. Part i. deals with the foundations of sylviculture—this was formerly part iv. of vol. i. of the “Manual.” Part ii. comprises the formation and regeneration of woods. Part iii. is devoted to the tending of woods, while part iv. consists of sylvicultural notes on British forest trees.
