Sheppard's Action Upon the Case for Slander and William March's Actions for Slaunder 1647 were the first two books to address the topic. As indicated by its preface Sheppard's is especially interesting. " this Age the iniquity of the Tongue that little Member set on fire by Hell is not the least; And among the evils of the Tongue is there any more pernicious and deadly and yet more common and epidemical then Backbiting and Slander . It is true that in former times wee finde Actions of the Case for Slanderous words very rarely brought; which speaks this much that such words were then very rarely spoken. But in these daies they are become almost as natural to men as their language and discourse; and therefore the disease so deeply rooted and over-spreading calls for the application of the Remedy which our Law doth abundantly furnish us withall. And hence it is I have been encouraged to ingage in this work; which is nothing else but a naked and Methodical Collection of the remedies prescribed by the Law against this Malady. unknown books
