Arena Cornubiae: Or The Claims Of The Commissioners Of Woods And Forests To The Sea Coast And Banks

""Arena Cornubiae: Or The Claims Of The Commissioners Of Woods And Forests To The Sea Coast And Banks Of Tidal Rivers In Cornwall And Devon, Examined And Considered"" is a historical book written by James Wallis Pycroft in 1856. The book examines the claims made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to the sea coast and banks of tidal rivers in Cornwall and Devon, which were contested by local landowners and fishermen. Pycroft provides a detailed account of the legal and historical background of the dispute, and argues that the claims of the Commissioners were unjustified and harmful to the interests of the local community. The book is a valuable source of information for anyone interested in the history of land use and property rights in England, and sheds light on the complex relationship between government and local communities in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
