A very good copy. $500. * Augmented reissue of Manley's second edition, 1684. The Interpreter was the standard law dictionary until Jacob's A New Law-Dictionary (1729). However, its publication in 1607 provoked intense controversy. At a time when Parliament and James I were vying for power, the House of Commons was angered by Cowell's royalist sympathies, which were evident in such definitions as "King," "Parliament," "Prerogative," "Recoveries," and "Subsidies." When a joint committee of Lords and Councilors reviewed the work, the ensuing controversy nearly halted the affairs of government. The king intervened in fear that his own fiscal interests would not be approved by Parliament, and ordered a proclamation that imprisoned Cowell, ended publication of the book and ordered all copies burned by a public hangman on March 10, 1610. It remained in use, however, and it went through several editions. Later enlarged editions, such as this one, are valuable references for scholars of early English legal texts.
