SELDEN, John [1584-1654].
The Table-Talk.With A Biographical Preface And Notes By S.W.Singer Esq.
Londomn: William Pickering, 1847..
small 8vo. pp. cxxxiv, [1 leaf], 257, [1]errata. with half-title. engraved frontis. portrait. printer's device on title. woodcut headpieces & initials. contemporary half chagrin (some wear to extremities). Perhaps Selden's best known work, compiled by his private secretary, Richard Milward, it was not first printed until 1689, when the Revolution had given freedom to the press. Although its authenticity was at one point disputed, "the work may safely be accepted as the most vivid picture extant of the habits of thought and the modes of expression of the great Erastian lawyer. The conversations cover a great range of subjects relative to human life and history.". (DNB) "The book abounds in sallies of all kinds. Selden unmercifully mocks at everything and everyone, Parliament and Royalists, Episcopalians and Presbyterians. His sarcasms at the expense of the Chancellor and of Equity have become proverbial.". (Lévy-Ullmann; quoted in Marke) Keynes p. 88. cfMarke p. 1126.
