Book Description

Excerpt from Finland: Its Forests and Forest Management This is the third of a series of Volumes, the publication of which has been undertaken as a contribution to the literature of Forest Science in the English language. The publication of the first of the series, The Forests of England and the Management of Them in Byegone Times, resulted from the unexpected offer from a National Association to contribute 10 towards the expense, the Council of the Association having expressed the opinion that the successive publication of this and other Volumes of the series would certainly contribute to further the ends the Society had in view. When the proceeds of the sales of that Volume may suffice for the purpose, they will be spent in the publication of a companion Volume on the Management of English Forests in the Nineteenth Century, and their Present Condition, which is ready for the press. In aid of the publication of the second of the series, French Forest Ordinance of 1669; with Historical Sketch of Previous Treatment of Forests in France, 10 were contributed by Mr W. T. Costigan, Montreal. When the proceeds of sales may suffice for the purpose, these will be spent in the publication of a companion Volume on Forestry and Sylviculture in France subsequent to the publication of the Ordinance of 1669, which also is ready for the press.
