Graves' Principles Of Handling Woodlands, published in 1911, and Schlich's Manual Of Forestry, Vols. I and II, revised in 1895 are practically the only works on the subject in the English language. Government and state publications con tain, in more or less fragmentary form, a large store Of knowledge concerning the practice Of silviculture. Forest Terminology in the Appendix is Copied verbatim from the Journal of Forestry, Vol. XV, 1917, published by the Society Of American Foresters.
