Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Sylviculture: A Short Treatise on the Scientific Cultivation of the Oak and Other Hardwood Trees
The creation of superior schools for the training of forest subordinates has originated the Manual which I now offer to the public. It has been written with a view to bringing together in a compact form the various notions on forestry, restricting that term to Sylviculture properly so called. Hence I have abstained from discussing the economical questions which form the basis of Forest organization. I have similarly passed over in silence the exploitation or working of forests, felling excepted, which has so great an in?uence on the reproduction of coppice. It cannot be denied that the treatment of a forest is intimately connected with its Administration still it is not necessary to master thoroughly the laws of production and yield in order to learn how to carry out a regeneration cutting, a thinning, or a coppice cutting.
