Excerpt from The Culture and Management of Our Native Forests for Development as Timber or Ornamental Wood It is proper that I should preface the following essay by a state ment of the circumstances which led to its preparation. A letter of mine, on Tree Culture, which was published in the New York Nation of Dec. 1, 1881, elicited so many inquiries from such widely separated sections of the country, as to convince me that the subject was one of very general interest. In every letter I received the question was asked, Where can I find any treatise or book of instruction on the management of our native forests and I was forced to reply that I knew of no such book, and had been assured, on the highest authority, that there was no foreign work that was applicable to our wants. All that I had learned upon the subject had been from experience and observation, and I felt pain fully conscious of my own ignorance of much that pertains to it. But the questions that were asked me by intelligent inquirers afford ed in themselves sufficient evidence of a general want of recognition of some of the principles which experience had taught me were of essential importance in forest culture. These I have endeavored to set forth in the following essay, which I have had the honor of reading to a committee of the Massachusetts Legislature, and to the National Forestry Congress, at Cincinnati.

Excerpt from Principles of American Forestry This is a book on elementary forestry, and has been prepared especially for students and others beginning this subject.

Much of the matter included herein was originally published by the Geological and National History Survey of Minnesota under the title "Forestry in Minnesota." The favor with which that work was received has encouraged the publishers to get out this volume, in which the matter is treated in a more general way and enlarged to better adapt it to the whole country.
