By Charles R. Dodge. Being part of a report of Mr. Wm. Saunders, representing the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Published by the Department of Agriculture.

The wood-working and timber interests of the country have cause to thank the Department of Agriculture for this very timely publication. The kind of wood out of which everything on exhibition was constructed, from a railroad car to a fiddle or a tooth-pick, is clearly given, with many notes of interest in regard to them. We regard it as one of the most valuable contributions to the literature of American Forestry that has yet appeared.
