The Royal Forests of England, written by J. Charles Cox and originally published in 1905, is a detailed exploration of the history and significance of the forests that were once owned by the English monarchy. The book delves into the origins of these forests, which date back to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, and describes how they were used for hunting, timber production, and other purposes over the centuries.Cox provides a comprehensive overview of the legal and administrative structures that governed the royal forests, including the roles of the forest courts, forest officers, and forest laws. He also examines the impact of the forests on the landscape and ecology of England, and discusses the various species of trees and wildlife that were found within their boundaries.Throughout the book, Cox draws on historical records, literature, and other sources to paint a vivid picture of life in the royal forests, from the medieval period through the Victorian era. He also explores the ways in which the forests have been preserved and managed in modern times, and reflects on their ongoing significance as cultural and natural treasures.Overall, The Royal Forests of England is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history, ecology, and cultural heritage of this iconic landscape feature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
