Schools of Forestry in Germany. Compiled by John Croumbie Brown,

LL.D. (Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh.)—Dr. Brown has added another to his long list of valuable works on forestry in this country and abroad. In Germany there are no less than seven regular schools of forestry. About these Dr. Brown gives some interesting and valuable information, and he adds some suggestions for the establishment of a similar institution in this country. We trust that the energy with which the author pleads his cause, supple- mented as it is by liberal offers of personal help, may not have been expended in vain.
