First Edition. [London] In the Savoy: J. Nutt for J. Walthoe 1713. The First History of the English Common Law: An Unsophisticated 1713 Copy of Sir Matthew Hale's Posthumous Masterpiece [Hale, Sir Matthew (1609-1676)]. The History of the Common Law of England. Divided into Twelve Chapters. [London In the Savoy]: Printed by J. Nutt for J. Walthoe, 1713. [iii], 264, [12] pp. Main text preceded by one-page bookseller advertisement list. Octavo (7-1/2" x 4-3/4"; 19 x 12 cm). Contemporary unlettered calf, blind fillets to boards, raised bands to spine. Moderate rubbing, scuffing, and superficial scraping to boards, extremities worn with exposure at corners, front joints deeply cracked but front cover remains securely held by three underlying cords. Light uniform browning throughout text block, with distinct historic dampstaining concentrated along the lower and outer margins, not affecting readability. Early ownership rubber stamp to front free endpaper: "Sidney George Chamberlain/ 'Fairleigh,' Priest Hill/ Caversham, Oxon." Later penciled signature of Jill Weightman to the same leaf. An appealing, unsophisticated copy in its original binding. $1,250. * First edition, second issue variant with the cancel title page. Originally published anonymously earlier in 1713 alongside Hale's Analysis of the Law, these essays comprise the first systematic history of the English common law. Drawn from Hale's extensive manuscripts and published posthumously, this landmark text provided a living history of England's legal framework. Sir William Holdsworth noted that Hale possessed a masterly historical perspective that enabled him to trace the remote origins of modern legal doctrines without falling into unprofitable antiquarianism. The work had a profound impact on Anglo-American jurisprudence. It directly introduced the structural and analytical framework later expanded upon by Sir William Blackstone in his own Analysis of the Laws of England (1756) and his monumental Commentaries. This variant title page represents a scarce early effort to market Hale's historical narrative as a standalone treatise. The provenance mark traces this copy to Caversham Heights, Oxfordshire (historically "Oxon," now part of Reading), where Priest Hill is famously home to the medieval St. Anne's Well.
