FRENCH FOREST ORDINANCE OF 1863. With His
torical Sketch Previous Treatment of Forests IN
France. Compiled and translated by j. CROUMBIE
BROWN, LII ID. limo, PIP. $50 Edlnoirgn OhVer
& Boyd London: Simpkin, Marshall d GO.
The code of forest law in almost every country of
Europe is to a great extent based upon the famous
ordinance of Louis XIV, which was INSPIRED by the
genius of Colbert. This celebrated paper is
now for the first time presented to English readers
and American readers will have opportunity TO
observe that French statesmen more than two CEN
turtles ago had the foresight to protect their words
from the same destructive forces which to-day
are devastating own without hinerance.
Here was an intelligent effort not Gully to exclude
fire and browsing animals and reckless or waste
full axes from the woods, but to establish
regular and constant supply of forest pro
ducts for the use of tho people. IL is
worthy Of special notice that oil the woods
of France and not the Crown forests alone were
made subject TO the provisions OF the law. The
method of management was prescribed for forests
held possession by private persons as well as for
those Leld by the Crown-by ecclesiastical and
civil corporations; and this is based upon the
proposition which seems to our notions extrayagant,
that all the woods of q country. and not the State
forests exclusively. are in a genuine sense national
property. Each generation has a night to use the
woods but they belong to the nation. irrespective OF
time-not 70 individuals of any period-and they
should be transmitted without deterioration as a
part of the national heritage. This same principle
is asserted in the legislative enactments of other
countries against forest destruction. for example,
when " the destruction Of forest the brow of a
mountain range winch has acted as q wind-break
would be injurious 10 the cultivation of lands
on the plain under that shelter: when the
destruction of forest growing on q mountain side
