“The presentation of the matter—especially those features and branches with which contractors are so frequently harassed and annoyed—is exceptionally clear. The language is entirely untechnical and the book is so arranged as to give the layman a thorough grasp of the main principles of the law.”

Brown, John Pinkney. Practical arboriculture: how forests influence climate, control the winds, prevent floods, sustain national prosperity: a text book for railway engineers, manufacturers, lumbermen and farmers; how, where and what to plant for the rapid production of lumber, cross-ties, telegraph poles and other timbers, with original photographs by the author. $2.50. J. P. Brown, Connersville, Ind.
6–23171.
A thorogoing handbook sufficiently well outlined in the sub-title.
“The work can in no proper sense be called a text-book, since it is utterly lacking in systematic arrangement, but it will doubtless prove of no little educational value. It is a pity that the book has no index, what is called such being merely a table of contents.”
