Preserved in a custom cloth clamshell box with printed paper title label. $7500. First edition. Theloall's Digest was the accepted register of correctly drafted writs. It owes its origin to the suggestion of Staunford that it would be a good idea if lawyers would write treatises on the other titles of the abridgments similar to his study of the Title "Prerogative." Staunford illustrated his meaning by showing how the Title "Brief" might be treated. Theloall chose this title and wrote a treatise on it for his own use. The manuscript having been lent eventually found its way to a printer. "It deserved to be printed as it is the most orderly treatise on procedure founded on the Year Books that had yet appeared. Historically it comes between the older commentaries upon writs and the modern books on procedure" Holdsworth. A second edition was published in 1678. The work of a seasoned practitioner the annotations in our copy are a collection of case references cross references and glosses. Holdsworth A History of English Law V:381.
