Excerpt from Select Pleas of the Forest The text of this volume consists for the most part Of extracts from the eyre rolls of the tenth year Of the reign of John and Of the latter half of the reign of Henry III. The rest consists of forest inquisitions, upon which some of the eyre rolls printed in this volume were based, some perambulations of the reign Of Edward I. And a few other miscellaneous documents. The mss. Relating to Essex (pp. 69 - 74) are in the British Museum; all the others are in the Public Record Office. The Introduction is confined to a description Of the forest laws of the thirteenth century; and it has been found impossible to deal with every branch Of them, even within this limited period. NO docu ments explaining the rights of common enjoyed by the inhabitants of the forests are printed in this volume, nor is any account given Of them in the Introduction. Common is a large subject, and in the judgment Of the editor it is not convenient to treat common in forests apart from common elsewhere.
