Excerpt from A Handbook of Forestry

Most estates are managed by a man who has been trained in agriculture especially, his main duties consisting of the management of live stock, agricultural land, etc. It is exceptional, however, to find that his qualifications embrace an expert knowledge of forestry; and this accounts for the errors which are committed in this branch of estate-management. It has been felt that a Short handbook on the subject, comprising most of the essential points, but avoiding details, would prove an acceptable and useful guide. In writing this book, the author has omitted arguments and reasons for the chief methods advocated; he has been anxious to present only the most important portions of the subject, because he recognises that the estate manager, in most cases, is thoroughly conversant with the principles of growth, and that he will be able, therefore, to see the why and the wherefore for himself.
