An important book according to Holdsworth, Tenenda non Tollenda was written to protest the recent abolition of military tenures, a system through which the crown granted lands in exchange for military services, either personal or through the provision of troops. He feared this would eventually lead to the creation of a standing army, a potential tool of royal oppression. On a broader level the abolition of military tenure eliminated a legal bond that balanced the interests of the monarchy and large landholders. A thoroughly argued thesis, it is supported by 72 points. Holdsworth, A History of English Law VI:610. English Short-Title Catalogue R16070.

Philipps, a member of an old gentry family educated at inns of chancery, Oxford and Middle Temple, was a notable and prolific legal antiquarian and Royalist. Here, he wades into the debate over the establishment of a general register for titles and deeds. Though the idea was first proposed under Henry VIII, no such register would be created until the passage of the Land Registry Act in 1862, which established a registry of titles (but not deeds). The system created by the act was voluntary and largely ineffective; successive attempts at reform failed until the Land Registration Act of 1925. Philipps warns against the registry on the grounds that it would create public mistrust and cause economic failures by creating opportunities for fraud. Signature C is unsigned in our copy. Two issues of a second edition appeared in 1671, one with signature C signed and one without. English Short-Title Catalogue R9264.
