Taylor, Silas. The History of Gavel-Kind: With the Etymology Thereof. Los Angeles, Sherwin & Freutel, 1970, 1663. First Sherwin & Freutel edition, 1970 facsimile reprint of the 1663 London edition. 211 pp., fold out genealogical table. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt stamped spine, near fine. Internally clean. $35. * Tracing the survival of pre-Conquest land inheritance customs, this specialized historical monograph investigates the legal system of gavelkind, an ancient form of land tenure unique to the County of Kent and parts of Wales. Taylor, an influential seventeenth-century antiquarian and captain in the Parliamentary army, details how this local tradition resisted the absolute imposition of Norman feudalism by ensuring that a deceased tenant's property was divided equally among all sons rather than passing solely to the eldest via primogeniture. By incorporating extensive etymological research and transcriptions of early medieval charters, the text provides critical primary evidence for the study of agrarian social structures, Saxon liberties, and the historical development of English property law.…

Its inheritance pattern is a system of partible inheritance, which bears resemblance to Salic patrimony: as such, it might testify in favour of a wider, probably ancient Germanic tradition. Under this law, land was divided equally among sons or other heirs. Over the centuries, various acts were passed to degavel individual manors but, in England and Wales, it was the Administration of Estates Act 1925 that finally abolished the custom.…

Gavelkind is a type of land tenure used mostly in Kent, but also in other parts of England, Ireland and Wales. It is a form of partible inheritance in which land descends equally to the decedent's sons. It was common during the Saxon era, but was gradually supplanted by primogeniture after 1066. Somner's treatise was the first on the subject and one of the first important studies of early English law. Taylor's was one of the earliest. Edward Jeremiah Curteis [1762-1835], one of the volume's later owners, was a member. …
