Collected and Written in French, By Himself; Revised and Published in English, By Sir Harbottle Grimston, Baronet, Master of the Rolls.

London: Printed for E. and R. Brooke, Bell-Yard, Temple-Bar; And T. Whieldon, Fleet-Street, 1790. 2 volumes. Octavo (9-1/2" x 6"; 24.13 x 15.24 cm).

Croke stood for judicial independence. His collection of reports, which include cases from 1582 to 1641, was, notes James Kent, "a work of credit and celebrity" that has "sustained its character in every succeeding age." Grimston, 2nd Baronet, Member of Parliament and later Speaker of the House of Commons, was Croke's son-in-law. Leach was a notable legal writer. A New York-born alumnus of Columbia and Columbia Law School who lived most of his adult life in Indiana, William Dudley Foulke [1848-1935] was a lawyer who had a notable career as a Progressive polician and social reformer. He is better known, however, for his distinguished work as a literary critic, poet, translator and journalist. Kent cited in Wallace, The Reporters 198-205. English Short-Title Catalogue T98372.
