The Italian journals of the day state that the province of Brescia and a part of that of Bergamo, which have heretofore been exposed to enormous injury, after every heavy rain, from floods of the four principal streams which traverse them, in a great degree escaped damage in the terrible inundation of October, 1872, and their immunity is ascribed to the forestal improvements executed by the former province, within ten or twelve years, in the Val Camonica and in the upper basins of the other rivers which drain that territory.
I will forestal their repair hither, and say you are not fit. The fatalist Hamlet, whom we have seen coming ever closer to the doctrine of Predestination, answers as follows: 'Not a whit; we defy augury; there is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come; the readiness is all.
In some cases it has been found possible to confine and cultivate coast sand-hills, even without preliminary forestal plantation.

The archenemy Strafford had been brought to the block; Laud was in the tower; the leading members of Convocation, bishops, deans, and archdeacons, had been heavily fined; the Star Chamber and the High Commission Court had been abolished; the Stannary and Forestal jurisdictions restrained. But the Puritan movement aimed at far more than this.
"Will you suffer me, then," said I, "to forestal you? Forgive my impatience, and let me see her before you do." Lady Glanville was a woman of the good old school, and stood somewhat upon forms and ceremonies. I did not, therefore, await the answer, which I foresaw might not be favourable to my success, but with my customary assurance, left the room, and hastened up stairs.
Taking Italy as a whole, we may say that she is eminently fitted by climate, soil, and superficial formation, to the growth of a varied and luxuriant arboreal vegetation, and that in the interests of self-protection, the promotion of forestal industry is among the first duties of her people.
The white gulls float aloft; the village elms are moulded by Zephyr with sure and steady breath.

They congregate in an oasis about Bridetown, then wend away through valley meadows, but leave the green hills bare.
