The Royal Forests of England #265354

If references had been given to every document Cited, almost every page would have bristled with footnotes, involving a considerable curtailment of the rest of the letterpress. Not a single statement, however, is made — where no author is Cited — save on the authority of original and contemporary records. It may be helpful to some to state the Chief classes of documents whence forest lore is to be obtained in the vast national depository in Chancery Lane.
