HENRY, AUGUSTINE. Forests, woods and trees in relation to hygiene. (Chadwick library) il *$7.50 (*18s) Dutton 634.9
(Eng ed Agr20–233)
“The book is an amplification of the Chadwick lectures delivered by Prof. Henry at the Royal society of arts in 1917, and the author no doubt looks upon it in large measure as propaganda in the cause of tree-planting on a national scale. The first three chapters, however, deal with matters of profound scientific importance—the influence of forests on climate, the sanitary influence of forests, and forests as sites for sanatoria. The greater part of the volume is devoted to a question of national importance—the afforestation of water-catchment areas, with particulars of the extent to which the work has already proceeded.”—Nature
