The Forester's Guide And Profitable Planter: Containing A Practical Treatise On Planting Moss, Rocky Waste And Other Lands; Also A New, Easy And Safe Plan Of Transplanting Large Trees, And Of Valuing Growing Wood And Trees Of All Descriptions. To Which Is Added The Prevention And Cure Of Dry Rot by Robert Monteath. The Forester's Guide is a pioneering 19th-century British forestry manual that blends practical instruction with national policy. Originating in 1824 (with a second edition carrying important additions), it offers methods for planting marginal lands such as moss and rocky waste, transplanting large trees, and valuing growing wood and woods of various kinds. The work covers planting techniques—including layering, coppicing, and turning natural woods into standing timber—alongside thinning and pruning practices. It also explains bark production and pricing, the uses and value of timber for shipbuilding, machinery, carriages, and coopers, and includes a novel measuring instrument for timber. The volume also addresses tenancy, forest management, disease (notably dry rot), and strategies for ensuring national timber security.
