The author was cited before the high commission court for writing this treatise, and had written a vindication of it, which was never printed, but of which some account is given by Wood in Athen. Oxon. An information being ordered to be brought against John Selden, the author, in the high commission court, he, fearing the issue, and understanding the high displeasure of the king and bishops against him, made his personal appearance in the open court at Lambeth, on the 28th day of Jan. 1618, where in a full court he tendered his submission and acknowledgment, and recantation, all of his own hand writing in the following words: My lords, I most humbly acknowledge my error which I have committed in publishing the history of tithes, and especially in that I have at all, by showing any interpretations of holy scripture, by meddling with councils, futhers, or canons, or by whatsoever occurs in it, offered any occasion of argument, against any right of maintenance, jure divino, of the ministers of the gospel; beseeching your lordships to receive this ingenuous and humble acknowledgment, together with the unfeigned protestation of my grief, for that through it I have so incurred both his majesty's and your lordships displeasure, conceived against me in behalf of the Church of England.

The author was a justice itinerant 29 Hen. IlI. and is said, by Lord Coke in Pref. to 9 Rep. to have been a judge of the C. P. and by Leland, to have been Ch. Just. of England; but these statements do not seem to be founded on any authority now extant. This work, the ornament of the reign of Hen. III., gives a complete view of the law, in all its titles, as it stood at the time it was written: it is divided into five books, and these into tracts and chapters; being a comprehensive and particular account of the law, digested with a strict adherence to method and system, and contains a copious and accurate detail of legal learning. On account of the difficulty in procuring a correct copy, the author's arrangement and distribution of the subject, were not properly attended to; this defect, however, is obviated by Mr. Reeves, in his Hist. Eng. Law, vol. ii. 86, where may be found an analytical abstract of the several divisions of the chapters, and a complete digest of the contents, of this venerable code. In Lincoln's-inn library, is an ancient MS. copy of Bracton, said to be more correct than the printed copies. 8. BRITTON. See Sect. II. No. 6, post. 9.

Redman, bound together with figures, 5 s. Ld. Coke supposed this work to have been first printed at this time, viz. 1531, 23 Hen. VIII. Pref. to Co. Lit. but elsewhere says, that it was written after 26 Hen. VIII. 3d Inst. 122. On the subject of this celebrated work Mr. Hargrave has lately published, in his collection of law tracts, from a MS. in the Cottonian library, a replication of a serjaunte at the laws of Eng. to certayne pointes alleaged by a student of the said lawes of England, in a dialogue in Englishe, between a doctor of divinity and the said student. And a little treatise concerning writs of Subpoena. The copy from which the above are printed, contains the following notice: "Founde amongste the bookes of the late Sir Edward Saunders, late chiefe justice of England, and after chief baron of the Exchequer, and noted by his hand-writinge to be entitled on the outside, The dialogue between a sarjaunte at law and Christopher Seinte Jerman; and on the inside, The answer of this treatise by Seinte Jerman."
