[6], xxii, [12], 491, [+5] pages, title page printed in red and black, dedication, preface, contents, references, errata, 18.4 x 14.8 cms, 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. Cooke, early inked marginalia and underlining; contemporary hollow-backed vellum, manuscript author and title on the spine, tidemark to the lower corner of the text leaves, affecting the margin only, a good sound copy. First edition of an antiquarian classic by John Selden (1584-1654) eminent jurist, polymath, prolific scholar, and, in recent times, celebrated for his ownership of the earliest surviving Chinese merchant map of East Asia, re-discovered with justifiable fanfare as a treasure of the Bodleian Library by Robert Batchelor in 2008. At the time of its release, Selden's "The History of Tithes": "gave great offense to the clergy and was vigorously refuted in a number of volumes to which Selden was forbidden the right to print replies" (Pforzheimer). 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 The work was suppressed and Selden was forced to apologize for having given offense-- and the book was withdrawn from circulation.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.
