16811278921681. ENGLISH LAW. Proceedings Upon Impeachments from the year 1666 to the year 1681. Manuscript. No place circa 1681. Quarto modern full brown calf raised bands red morocco spine label. $3200.Original manuscript from the late 17th century with the parliamentary impeachment proceedings against 14 individuals during the reign of Charles II.The accountswritten in legible script with an index at frontbegin with the proceedings against Viscount Mordaunt charged with raping the daughter of the surveyor of Windsor Castle when Mordaunt was the castle's constable. Although they include a number of cases including that of William Penn in 1668 the clear focus is on the Popish plot a supposed conspiracy promulgated in 1678 that led to the arrest and trial of five Catholic lordsBaron Arundell the Marquess of Powis Baron Belasyse Baron Petre and Viscount Staffordall of which are recounted in this manuscript. As anticatholic hysteria waned and it became increasingly clear that the ""plot"" was a fiction the fallout entrapped more of the players: the impeachment of William Scroggs who served as the Chief Justice during the trials is detailed as is that of the Lord High Treasurer the Earl of Danby who was charged with concealing the plot and Edward Fitzharris who had attempted to implicate Danby in Sir Edmondbury Godfrey's murder in 1678 an event which fanned the flames of anticatholic hysteria.

1700176470London: Printed by the Assigns of Richard and Edward Atkyns Esquires for John Walthoe 1700. The first English treatise devoted exclusively to family law First edition in an exceptionally well-preserved binding of this oft-cited work on the legal position of women in 17th- and 18th-century England and a key summary of the social mechanisms underpinning such works as The Taming of the Shrew. "Baron and Feme" refers to the legal fiction that husband and wife shared one legal personhood. The anonymous author of this treatise draws heavily on Sir Edward Coke's edition of Littleton aiming to codify and explain family law "in all the Circumstances of Life from the Solemnization of Marriage to the Divorce" p. vi. "Although written in English at a time when many law books were still published in Latin and law French it was clearly intended for a legally trained reader" Glover p. 75. This copy includes extensive ink annotations in an 18th-century hand suggesting a similar level of legal training. The annotations mainly cite other legal reference works but they also explicate several points of law and invoke others to challenge assertions in the text. The notes on the rear blank verso for instance observe that "the Wife's Portion consisting of Choses in action shall not upon ye husb's death be liable to his debts tho' ye husb: before marriage had made an adequate Jointure on her".
