GENTLEMEN,

WHEN I took the liberty of addressing you, inJanuary last, on the subject of the projected inclosure ofthese Forests, I could not foresee that the plan Isubmitted to general consideration would have been adopted by theCommissioners of Woods and Forests, which it appears,by the Heads of the Bill, they now propose bringinginto Parliament has been done; p. 4and the giving effect to aplan, on the mere suggestion of a private individual,whose name was not even known to them, shews, ontheir part, the strongest desire, in executing theduties of their office, to afford every possible degree ofaccommodation to the interest and convenience of the persons tobe affected by it.  Connected as I am with gentlemenwho have considerable property in these Forests, I doearnestly hope that the plan I have suggested, and whichhas been, on the part of the Commissioners of Woods andForests, so liberally adopted, will be carried intoeffect; and, at the request of several friends,I have been induced to re-publish my Thoughts on thesubject, in the hope that they may have some weight,with my readers, in convincing them of the expediencyof giving their earnest support to the Bill now proposed.

I remain, Gentlemen,

With great respect.

Your very obedientservant,
THOMAS STREET,

Philpot-Lane, London,
