Fraunce was a member of Philip Sidney's circle and all his writings were dedicated to members of that group. His writings were commended both by Thomas Nashe and by Francis Meres. In this work he follows the Ramist principles he also employed in other works, providing literary examples to demonstrate principles of logic. Here, however, he expands the approach by using common law cases from Plowden and others. ESTC S102621 .
