Book excerpt: First published in the year 1914, "This book was written primarily for students of forestry to whom a knowledge of the technical properties of wood is essential.

The intention throughout has been to avoid all unnecessarily technical language and descriptions, thereby making the subject-matter readily available to every one interested in wood." -Preface
