Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A book about the Temple in London (the Inner Temple and Middle Temple) and their unique position in Church and State, for more than 800 years, as "peculiar" and "exempt" property. Lord Silsoe notes that "every peculiarity of the Temple, ecclesiastical and lay, stems in ori…gin from a Bull of Pope Alexander III dated 1163". We are not qualified to judge how matters may have changed since this book came out in 1972, but from 1163 up until that point Lord Silsoe's account strikes us as authoritative and curiously interesting. For example: "One of the peculiarities of the Temple is that there are no public sewers in it." Or: "It was quite a common practice to 'drop' unwanted babies in the Temple and they were always cared for - unless the dropper was caught [.] Each child was given the family name of Temple plus a Christian name." Or: "So far as records show, there has not been one case in the Temple Church of a lawful marriage licensed by the Bishop of London." The book is very nicely printed on good-quality, pleasingly tactile paper. No markings to the text, just a couple of tiny spots. There's some minor signs of shelfwear and handling to the blue boards, most noticeably a few small streaks of whitish scuffing on the back, but overall they're tight and bright and solid. This copy once belonged to the distinguished musician John Birch, who was Organist and Director of Music at Chichester Cathedral and a Professor at the Royal College of Music. His neat signature in blue ink is written on the front endpaper, with a date of 1984.
