[6], xxii, [12], 491, [+5] pages, title page printed in red and black, dedication, preface, contents, references, errata, 18.4 x 14.8 cm, endpapers renewed with the original front endpapers laid down (aged-toned and chipped), title-page toned and a little faded, upper corner chipped, with the inked owners' inscription of Thos. Bryan Richards (1798) and Wm.

It has been noted that the absence of the printer's name and the place of publication showed that Selden anticipated an unfavourable reaction to his denial of divine right of tithes. He was not disappointed. The work was suppressed and Selden was forced to apologize for having given offense-- and the book was withdrawn from circulation. His work was much studied: this copy with early marginalia: "by this Historie the Right of tithing belong not to ye profession of ye Canonist Civilian or Divine but with (?) Lawyers." (the last three words hastily crossed out). Early owners include London Antiquary Thomas Bryan Richards, whose extensive Library was sold by King & Lochée in 1812.…
