Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of American Forestry
The first edition of copies of Forestry in Minne sota was published by the Minnesota Forestry Association and has been received with much favor. It is now probably used in more than fourteen of the agricultural colleges as their chief text book on this important subject and it is also used in a number of normal and high schools in this and other states, either as a text book or as supplementary reading. The first edition is practically exhausted, but the demand for it continues to increase, and it is this demand, and the fact that it concerns a subject closely related to the development of this state, which has induced the Board of Regents to publish it as a portion of the report of the Geological and Natural History Survey of Minnesota.
This edition covers all the ground reached by the first edi tion, but it has been improved by the better classification and extension of the matter in Part I, and some additions and cor rections to Part II. I think it greatly improved for the pur poses of a text book. For which it is primarily intended.
Since the publication of the first edition-the. World of science and especially the state of Minnesota have lost two helpful men in the death of Dr. Otto Lugger and J. S. Harris, each of whom assisted in preparing the first edition of Forestry in Minnesota. To me this is a personal bereavement, and I extend to their wives and children my most heartfelt sympathy and best wishes.
In this revision I have had the loyal and painstaking help of my assistant, Mr. T. L. Duncan, and the chapter on Forest Mensuration has been almost entirely prepared by him.
