 PREFACE 
 
 The following classification for forestry literature has been pre- 
 pared by the Faculty of the Yale Forest School for use in its 
 library. It is published to supply the demand for a simple and 
 comprehensive classification that is adapted to any library system. 
 
 The work was begun about one year ago and included a study 
 of all available data on the subject. A tentative outline was sub- 
 mitted to prominent members of the profession from whom help- 
 ful suggestions were received. 
 
 The subject has been divided into nine parts of approximately 
 equal importance. The secondary divisions also hav ,n limited 
 to nine and have not been amplified except when necessary for 
 clearness. This makes possible the adoption of the classification 
 without change, in libraries using the Dewey Decimal System. 
 
 No attempt has been made to classify related subjects. The 
 classification of the Library of Congress, with some modifications, 
 has been adopted for Agriculture and that of the Yale University 
 Library for other scientific subjects. 
 
 Acknowledgment is made to Dr. B. E. Femow for valuable 
 assistance rendered by him ; and to all others who have aided in 
 the work.
