ESTC R226767. A view of 17th century English common law. Dean's Memo and Brown's Bibliography list the second edition of this text was in John Marshall's law notes. An interesting excerpt, "The poorest person living, were not the Law his refuge, would be yet more unhappy then his present condition can make him, for be he never so mean he is within its care, and the greatest Person living is not exempted from its Power" And, "But is is not a licentious Liberty which the Law gives us, but a real Freedom, a freedom from Slavery and Tyranny." (Speaking of the Liberties of England, referencing Lord Coke.) Bulstrode draws deeply from the Western legal tradition, citing Justinian's code, Coke, Hooker, Aristotle, the Magna Carta, Roman law, etc. Much of the legal basis of law he presents is familiar to modern English and American jurists, and political philosophers. Edward Bulstrode (c.1588-1659) was a noted English jurist. During the 1620s-1630s, he served on the courts of chancery, king's bench, and Star Chamber. Bulstrode's best know work was his law reports, 'covering king's bench suits in 1610 17, and 1625 6, as well as some poor-law assizes cases from the early years of Charles I. These were translated by Bulstrode from his original law-French notes into English, the first reports to have been so published by their author." - Wilfrid Prest, Bulstrode, Edward (c.1588-1659), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004.
