Leather. Zustand: Very Good. A bright example of the fifth edition of William Nelson's expansion of John Manwood's 16th century account on the forest laws of England. Originally published in 1598 as 'A treatise and discourse of the lawes of the forrest' by John Manwood, this is the fifth edition of the work to be edited by William Nelson.This important legal work systematically outlines the laws and administration of royal forests in England. It explains the statutes and common-law principles in force at the time, but also traces the origins of forests, and differentiates them from chases, parks and warrens.ESTC N52735 Retaining half title.

192 x 139 mm. (7 5/8 x 5 1/2"). 8 p.l., 154, 162-65, 159-67, [1, blank], [6] leaves. Errors in pagination, but text complete. Late 19th century dark brown calf, covers tooled in blind with plain rules and fleur-de-lys roll, raised bands, spine panels with small blind-stamped ornament, black morocco label, marbled endpapers (neat repairs to ends of both joints). Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Godfrey Wentworth, Woolley Park. Beale T-413; Mellon/Podeschi 15; Schwerdt II, 7; STC 17291; ESTC S111993. Extremities slightly rubbed, boards a little chafed in spots, text lightly pressed (but not washed), a bit of browning to edges and occasional minor marginal foxing or traces of corner creases, but quite an excellent copy, the text clean and still fresh throughout, and the perfectly suitable binding with no significant wear. This is a pleasing country gentleman's copy of the first published treatise on the laws governing English forests. Our author, the fittingly named woodsman John Manwood (d. 1610), served as gamekeeper of Waltham Forest, as well as a justice of the New Forest. DNB tells us that he was possibly a barrister at Lincoln's Inn, which would explain his interest in, and knowledge of, the law. Manwood tells us in the dedicatory epistle that he composed the present work in response to the precarious state of forest preservation, stating that "so many do daily so contemptuously commit such heynous spoiles and trespasses" against the country's woodlands, but "verie little, or nothing, as yet is extant concerning the Lawes of the Forrest" to help manage such behaviors. Our copy comes from the first published edition, following only the 1592 pamphlet entitled "A Brefe Collection of the Lawes of the Forest," issued for private circulation and now extraordinarily rare. According to DNB, the present treatise is "the only substantial work on the subject ever to reach the press," making it an enduringly useful source for those interested in the topics contained, which include laws about hunting and perambulation in forests. It remained the standard work on the subject until the 19th century, and Schwerdt writes that it has been "invaluable to students and lovers of ancient sport." Our copy is from the library of Yorkshire landowner Godfrey Wentworth (1773-1834), who served as High Sheriff of Yorkshire from 1796-97 and in the House of Commons from 1806-08. He probably had no need for a later printing of the work. FIRST PUBLISHED EDITION, and First Edition under this Title.…

London: Printed [by Adam Islip?] for the Societie of Stationers. 1615. 4to. Contemporary full brown calf, triple blind fillet to sides, sometime rebacked, spine with raised bands and red morocco gilt lettering piece, edges stained red, endpaper renewed; ff. [1 (blank)], [15], 258 [i.e. 259], [1 (blank)], text printed in black letter, woodcut head-piece and initials; corners bumped, repaired tear without loss to p. 227, slight age-toning to margins, contemporary signature to title page with occasional manuscript notes in two hands throughout, very good.Second edition, the most notable, containing material from his privately circulated A Brefe Collection of the Lawes of the Forrest (1592) that was not included in the first edition of 1598.Cited by Blackstone, this book was considered to be the most authoritative secondary source on forest law well into the twentieth century. Certainly it is a great work of scholarship as Manwood collated sources as disparate as Cnut's Civil Dooms and Henry III's Charter of the Forest.The law as described by Manwood is very much on the side of the landowner, primarily the Crown but also the gentry. For example, the section on the Pourallee (or purlieu) covers the rights of those who own land on the border of a royal forest and who are legally qualified to hunt within the forest. This is to be expected as Manwood (who died in 1610) was the chief magistrate of the New Forest on behalf of Elizabeth I.The very neat and erudite marginal notes suggest that this copy has been used for reference by at least two legal scholars.ESTC S111855.…
