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".

The work describes the operation of the courts the forms of writs and the interpretation of legal terminology during the reign of Edward I of England. The work was edited by John Selden 1585-1654 but authored by an anonymous author who is sometimes referred to as "Fleta". However this was not a personal name but a title derived from the works preface which notes that it was written in Fleet Prison.It was John Selden who brought this ancient treatise to the public's attention with the first printed edition in 1647 and his substantial appended dissertation pp. 453-553 which offers rich commentary on Bracton Britton Fleta and related works. It also provides a compelling examination of the influence of Roman Imperial law in England-tracing its introduction application duration and eventual decline within the royal courts at Westminster. While Bracton is rightly celebrated as a foundational figure in the development of English legal thought Fleta deserves recognition for clarifying and illustrating complex aspects of its predecessors work.With the bookplate of John Evelyn 1620-1706 mounted on the front pastedown.
