Frontispiece and map of the New Forest, taken from a book called Historical Inquiries concerning Forests and Forest Laws, with Topographical Remarks, upon the Ancient and Modern State of The New Forest, in The County of Southampton by Percival Lewis in 1811.
The book does not have any other illustrations of general interest, but the text is fascinating.
Percival Lewis wrote the text not long after the 1801 Inclosure Act, not only as an historical study but perhaps also in order to help landlords make any claims in regard to the changes in estate boundaries, based on history.
