This edition is also noteworthy for the inclusion of Coke's complete prefaces. Sir Edward Coke 1552-1643 was considered to be the greatest legal practitioner of his day.

In each instance Coke assembled a large body of cases outlined their arguments and explained the reasons for the judgment using it as a basis for a statement of general principles. They are in effect a series of treatises on the points of law adjudged and not merely notes for citation. Taken together The Reports form the most extensive and detailed treatment of Common Law pleading that had yet appeared. A work of immense authority it was often cited as The Reports there being no need to mention the author's name. His accounts especially of pleadings were applauded for both their clarity and usefulness as stylistic models for students.

He also attracted some powerful enemies however principally James I who was angered by some of his opinions concerning royal prerogative.
