Dear Barkley,
	You may be right, or not. There is so much we do not know. Let us
find a grad student to spend a year at Heidelberg to sift this out. There
should be many volunteers: Ah, Student Life, it's as merry as a drum and
fife; Golden Days, in the memory of my happy youth!

	Have you seen Roy Thompson's short readable history of forest
doctrines, from Duke, ca. 1942? (That was a tough year to be fair to
Germans, however ancient.) He makes out Faustmann to have been an enthusiast
of Adam Smith, seeing bad forest practices to be a heritage of mercantilism.
