- W4256136960 abstract "In the seventeenth century the earth and its climates were conceived of as “limited by two Parallels, distant from the Equinoctial toward each Pole,” with five zones of “a certain quantity of land”—two temperate, two frigid, “and one Torrid.” Zones “distinguish[ed] the quality of the Air” in relation to heat and cold and the position of shadows.1 Thomas Tryon’s sojourn in the West Indies confirmed a jaundiced view of human nature because Britons seemed unable to temper their passions to the extremes of a place. There was “no Region so happy, no Elevation of the Pole so temperate, no Air so salubrious, as to keep People in Health whether they will or no, and those that obstinately violate Nature, and wilfully persue courses absolutely destructive, may justly be rank’t amongst the number of Self-Murtherers.”2 The speed with which British settlers cleared the forest would, in a period of ecological awareness, be considered an obstinate violation of nature: contemporaries were more liable to note how much easier was their breathing. Wherever the land was not steep and mountainous, it was made suitable for cultivation and this entailed stripping it of its woodland. In the mid-seventeenth century, land was described as “fallen and unfallen,” but the extent and rate of woodland clearance awaits a systematic study of the wording of hundreds of thousands of deeds, patents, and plat-books.3 At the end of the century, however, woods were still privately managed, even in areas of relative population density: appraising land close to fortifications required public purchase, and privately owned woodland in St. James’s, Barbados, was deemed to hamper the operation of Queen’s Fort.4" @default.
