Forests, Woods, and Trees in Relation to Hygiene

Abstract

PROF. HENRY writes of forests, woods, and trees with an enthusiastic appreciation of the beneficent part they play in the economy of Nature and in the service of man. He has devoted great energy to the study of his subject, and collected data of much value which will prove very useful to those engaged in projects of afforestation in this country. The importance of the subject is, we believe, fully realised by the Government, and Prof. Henry adduces so many instances of local authorities which have begun to move in the matter that we may hope to see the restoration of the woods on waste lands making steady progress year by year.

Forests, Woods, and Trees in Relation to Hygiene.

By Prof. Augustine Henry. (The Chadwick Library.) Pp. xii + 314. (London: Constable and Co., Ltd., 1919.) Price 18s. net.
