Wood's Account of Isle of Man (1811): Chapter IV on Property Law and Land Tenure

Description

Chapter 4 from John Wood's comprehensive 1811 Account of the Isle of Man, detailing Manx property law, land tenure systems, and inheritance customs. Covers the evolution of landholding from feudal obligations to the Lord through the 1703 settlement and 1777 confirmation act. Documents the distinction between entailed and purchased estates, commons rights, game laws, and widow's rights—all fundamental to understanding post-Revestment property administration.
