Called "the foundation text of jury independence and of the jury as a bulwark of English Liberty" this important work was first published in 1680 with the title Grand Juryman's Oath and Office Explained. A staunch Whig Hawles 1645-1716 wrote The Englishman's Right to outline the rights duties and proper behavior of a juryman and to show him how he was an agent against tyranny. Immediately successful among Whigs and others who saw themselves as defenders of English liberties it was received with great enthusiasm in America where it was reprinted several times well into the nineteenth century. According to Cohen's Bibliography of Early American Law it was probably the first English law book reprinted in the American colonies 1481. unknown books

The first contains a set of twenty-five maxims or regulae. One of the earliest if not first collections of maxims on English law it is remarkable for its stylistic vigor intellectual rigor meticulousness and clarity. The second treatise is a review of the history and practical application of criminal law estate law personal property law and the law of slander i.e. "the preservation of our good names from shame and infamy".

Among America's Founding Fathers Jefferson held Bacon in high esteem. In a 1789 letter to John Trumbull he said he considered Bacon Locke and Newton to be "the three greatest men that have ever lived without any exception."

In addition to its visual tour of the Exposition's extensive buildings and grounds this lavish book also celebrates a city that treasures its architecture. The classical Greek and Roman design expressed by the Chicago World's Fair defined the course of American monumental building for decades to come and the text accompanying these historic photographs provides fascinating interpretations of the Exposition's influence on American building styles and tastes.
