First edition of an antiquarian classic by John Selden (1584-1654) eminent jurist, polymath, prolific scholar, and, in recent times, celebrated for his ownership of the earliest surviving Chinese merchant map of East Asia, re-discovered with justifiable fanfare as a treasure of the Bodleian Library by Robert Batchelor in 2008. At the time of its release, Selden's "The History of Tithes": "gave great offense to the clergy and was vigorously refuted in a number of volumes to which Selden was forbidden the right to print replies" (Pforzheimer). It has been noted that the absence of the printer's name and the place of publication showed that Selden anticipated an unfavourable reaction to his denial of divine right of tithes. He was not disappointed. The work was suppressed and Selden was forced to apologize for having given offense-- and the book was withdrawn from circulation. His work was much studied: this copy with early marginalia: "by this Historie the Right of tithing belong not to ye profession of ye Canonist Civilian or Divine but with (?) Lawyers." (the last three words hastily crossed out). Early owners include London Antiquary Thomas Bryan Richards, whose extensive Library was sold by King & Lochée in 1812.
