TO THE LORDS OF MANORS, FREEHOLDERS, COPYHOLDERS, AND OTHER OWNERS OF LANDED PROPERTY, SITUATE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF Waltham and Hainault Forests.

GENTLEMEN,

WHEN I took the liberty of addressing you, in January last, on the subject of the projected inclosure of these Forests, I could not foresee that the plan I submitted to general consideration would have been adopted by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, which it appears, by the Heads of the Bill, they now propose bringing into Parliament has been done; and the giving effect to a plan, on the mere suggestion of a private individual, whose name was not even known to them, shews, on their part, the strongest desire, in executing the duties of their office, to afford every possible degree of accommodation to the interest and convenience of the persons to be affected by it. Connected as I am with gentlemen who have considerable property in these Forests, I do earnestly hope that the plan I have suggested, and which has been, on the part of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, so liberally adopted, will be carried into effect; and, at the request of several friends, I have been induced to re-publish my Thoughts on the subject, in the hope that they may have some weight, with my readers, in convincing them of the expediency of giving their earnest support to the Bill now proposed.

I remain, Gentlemen,

With great respect.

Your very obedient servant, THOMAS STREET,

Philpot-Lane, London, 15th April, 1818.
