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

"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 persuasive exploration of the debate surrounding land use in early 19th-century Britain. It centers on the potential consequences of enclosing Waltham and Hainault Forests, weighing the interests of landowners against those of the wider community. Street champions a balanced approach, proposing a method to dissolve the Crown's rights, manage deer populations, and enable timber production, advocating for the thoughtful sale of land to locals, aiming to enrich the community and preserve parts of these vital ecosystems. The primary topic is the discussion of land rights, how they managed, and what that means for the community living there.
