FOEESTEY AND FOEEST PEODUCTS. The importance of " Forestry and Forest Products " is beginning to receive that recog- nition to which the subject is entitled. We have received from Mr. Douglas, the well- known bookseller of Edinburgh, a copy of a work recently published by him, bearing the title quoted above. The volume, edited by Messrs. John Rattray, M.

Prizes were offered by them for essays on matters connected with the science it was their purpose to illustrate and advance. Out of the material supplied by the successful competitors, the editors of this work have succeeded in producing one of the most valuable contributions to the literature of wood- craft, in all its ramifications, that perhaps was ever laid before the public.
