Excerpt from Periodical Criticism, Vol. 5 The indispensable requisites which his under taking demands are. Lst, a steady and experienced forester, with the means of procuring, at a mo ment's notice, a sufficient number of active and intelligent assistants. This will often require set tlements on the estate, the advantage of which we may afterwards touch upon.

Month of the year, especially where a great plan Is in the progress of being executed, as reason dictates, by certain pro portions every year.
