The Eirenarcha (from the Greek for 'justice of peace') deals firstly with the office and duties imposed upon the Justices, from the origins of their authority, which derives directly from the King by letters patent, to their powers to put down riots and force entry, and secondly with the courts of quarter sessions where cases would be heard. Lambard[e] (1536-1601) was called to the bar in 1567 as a member of Lincoln's Inn. He is chiefly remembered for his activities as an antiquarian, publishing the first English county history with his Perambulations of Kent in 1570, and for his Eirenarcha, which drew upon his experiences as a member of the Commission of the Peace for Kent. The detailed list of indictments given in the fourth chapter of book two offers a fascinating insight into the fabric of sixteenth century society, with offences named for 'prophecying', anti-sacramentalism, rape of maid or child (under 10 years age), sodomy 'with man, or beast', prison breaks, and for the 'art of multiplication of gold or silver'.

This treatise is esteemed for its comprehensive and systematic account of the organization of local government under the justices of the peace at the end of the sixteenth century. It was the standard authority for several decades and often reprinted. Like many books of its kind, Eirenarcha offers a unique perspective on the society that produced it. This is evident in the descriptions of detailed indictments for such offenses as killing a man through witchcraft, raping a child or maid (the age of distinction was ten), hearing a Catholic Mass, practicing usury and operating a bowling alley. Lambard [1536-1601], a barrister, justice of the peace and legal historian, was also the keeper of records at the Rolls Chapel and the Tower of London.

Two works bound together, small octavo; title, 634, [88] pp.; 94 pp. (Duties of Constables); contemporary limp vellum with faint manuscript lettering to spine. A handsome compendium of two early legal manuals: these early seventeenth-century handbooks of common law were prepared for local magistrates, at the time known as Justices of the Peace. The Eirenarcha was written by English magistrate and luminary William Lambard (1536-1601); the work is remarkable for its clarity, easy style and use of pragmatic precedent. The author was a Justice of the Peace for Kent and used his considerable personal experience to produce a common law handbook in comprehensible English free from tortured legalese. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states the Eirenarcha is 'written in a clear and unaffected style, this manual remained for a long time the standard authority'. In seventeenth-century England local magistrates were sourced from landholders and the aristocracy, many of whom were unfamiliar with legal terminology. The Eirenarcha was written for this audience, and the result is an amazing insight into everyday life and law in Elizabethan England (the book was first published in 1581 and remained substantially unchanged through later editions). Witchcraft prohibitions exist alongside modern laws such as those regarding concealed pistols, while a strong anti-Catholic theme is evident throughout. . Title-page discoloured with some loss of the fore-edge, neatly laid down, preliminary leaves thumbed, frayed at corners and generally a bit damped, last few leaves of the second book chipped at corners with seventeenth century manuscript notations; overall good in worn contemporary limp vellum with faint manuscript lettering to spine.
