Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Thus. Three-volume Set; A clean copy of this set of three volumes. All are in good shape, with sound bindings. The pages are age-toned but not brittle, and they are free of markings of any sort. There are varying degrees of wear to the spines, with chipping at the tops, especially volume I. Someone has ill-advisedly put a bit of tape on the bottom of the spine of Vol. II. If desired, I'll put all three books in clear mylar jackets, which should help a lot with the chipping. Let me know if you want this.…

L'Authoritie et Iurisdiction des Courts de la Maiestie de la Roygne: Nouelment Collect & Compose, per R. Crompton del Milieu Temple Esquire, Apprentice del Ley. Si Seuris Index, Mitisis Corde Memento, Dicito, quae Possunt Dicta Decere Senem. London: Printed by the Assignes of Iohn More Esquire, 1637. [iv], 232 ff. Quarto (7-1/4" x 5-1/2").

Moderate toning to text, light soiling and small early signature, "F. Negus," and brief annotation, "5S" (i.e. shillings) to title page. A handsome copy. $750. * Second and final edition. Crompton was a bencher of the Middle Temple during the reign of Henry VIII and the author of several notable juristic works. Originally published in 1594, L'Authoritie et Iurisdiction is considered to be his principal work. It is essentially a digest of the Year Books and other cases applicable to the subject. Turning to William Fulbecke's A Direction or Preparative to the Study of the Lawe (1600), we see that its value was recognized almost immediately: "Master Crompton has taken great paynes in this study, and his books are in every man's hands, which prooveth their generall allowance, his cases are very profitable, and apt for the title to which they are applyed, and so compendiously collected, that a man may by them in a few howers gaine great knowledge" (cited in Holdsworth). On a broader scale, Crompton offers legal justification for the creation of a rigidly hierarchical "natural" society governed by a powerful monarch. This attitude, articulated by Bodin among others, was shared by several conservatives in England and Europe during the Late Renaissance. This copy may have belonged to Francis Negus [1670-1732], prominent British soldier and politician (and purported inventor of Negus wine), or his father Francis Negus [1638-1711], Surveyor of the Mews and secretary to the Duke of Norfolk.
