| Summary | "The New Forest: Its History and Its Scenery" by John R. Wise is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive work explores the rich history and natural beauty of the New Forest in England, emphasizing its significance from the Norman period to the present. The book likely delves into the intertwined relationship between the landscape and historical events, highlighting aspects such as forest laws, local lore, and the ecological diversity of the region. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the importance of understanding one’s own land, particularly for the English, who often overlook their own landscapes in favor of foreign travels. Wise introduces the New Forest as an exemplary region, one that has retained much of its historical character while showcasing a range of natural features from sea to moorland to woodland. He reflects on the New Forest’s historical significance, including its formation during the time of William the Conqueror, and describes its scenic beauty as a haven for nature lovers, inviting readers to appreciate and explore its quiet charm.
