Abstract
SINCE the establishment of the Forest Research Institute at Dehra Dun in 1906, Indian sylvicultural knowledge has advanced rapidly. Two manuals of Indian sylviculture had been written at different times before then, but these have long been out of date. The appearance of the present work, therefore, is to be welcomed. Its joint authorship does not imply collaboration. The two portions of the book—(1) “General Silviculture”, by Champion, and (2) “Silvicultural Systems”, by Trevor—might equally well, and perhaps with advantage, have been published as separate works.
