Thoughts on the Proposed Inclosure of Waltham (commonly called Epping) and Hainault Forests
In which a new plan is suggested for disafforesting the same: with the heads of the bill now proposed for that purpose
Transcribed from the 1818 edition by David Price
"Thoughts on the Proposed Inclosure of Waltham (commonly called Epping) and Hainault Forests; In which a New Plan is Suggested for Disafforesting the Same: With The Heads of the Bill now Proposed for that Purpose" by Thomas Street is a political treatise written during the early 19th century. This book discusses the proposition for the inclosure and disafforestation of the Waltham and Hainault Forests, examining the implications of such measures for landowners and the community. The likely topic revolves around land rights, ownership, and the management of public commons during a period when Britain was undergoing significant social and economic changes. In the text, Street presents a compelling argument for a partial inclosure of the forests, aiming to dissolve the rights the Crown holds over these lands while simultaneously addressing the concerns of local landowners. He highlights the burdensome effects of deer herds on surrounding property and suggests that a new compromise could lead to beneficial timber production while also allowing for the local populace to enjoy the remaining lands free from Crown restrictions. Through careful consideration, he attempts to persuade stakeholders of the advantages of his proposed plan, which includes selling small parcels of allotted land to nearby inhabitants, thus promoting both local enrichment and ecological preservation. Overall, the book emphasizes the need for reform in land management and community rights. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
