Some of the journals founded in earlier times have continued, with changes in title and editorships, to the present day. Of these, it is proper to mention as the oldest, “_Allgemeine Forst- und Jagdzeitung_”, founded by v. Behlen, 1825, later conducted by G. Heyer; “_Forstwissenschaftliches Centralblatt_” (1828); “_Zeitschrift für Forst- und Jagdwesen_” founded in 1869 by Dankelmann; “_Forstliche Blätter_” founded 1861 by Grunert, continued by Borggreve until 1890. The _Tharandter Forstliche Jahrbücher_ were begun in 1842, and the _Mündener Forstliche Hefte_ in 1892. In 1893, the _Forstlich-naturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift_ was established to discuss mainly the biological basis of forestry (changed in 1903 to _Naturwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift für Land- und Forstwesen_). For the lower grades there has been published, since 1872, _Zeitschrift der deutschen Forstbeamten_. Several lumber trade journals also discuss forestry matters. A weekly journal, _Silva_ was begun in 1908. To assist in keeping track of the historic and scientific development of the art, an annual summary of magazine literature is being published. The first effort in this direction was made in 1876 by Bernhardt’s _Chronik des deutschen Forstwesens_, which was continued for several years, but is now supplanted by _Jahresbericht über die Leistungen und Fortschritte der Forstwirthschaft_ (since 1880). Besides this more scientific magazine literature, “_Pocket Books_” and “_Calendars_” have been published from early times, the regular annual appearance of the latter, giving detailed statistics, personalia, tables useful in the practice, etc., dates from 1851. * * * * * With the accomplishment of the unity of the empire in 1871, with the establishment of the Experiment Stations and their association in 1872, and with the organization of the Society of German Foresters, which dates from the same year, a new and most active era in the development of forestry science may be recognized, the tendency of which is to lift the art out of the shackles of empiricism, and place it on a more scientific basis.
