The royal forests of England
John Charles Cox
The royal forests of England were law unto themselves, with their own courts, officers, and beasts. J. Charles Cox traces their history: the forest agistments, the hounds and hunting, the trees, and the strict codes that ruled them. Learned, thorough, and richly historical. A definitive account of England's ancient hunting grounds and their governance. Enter the old royal forests and the vanished world of their laws.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
