First published in 1661, this collection includes cases from the 13th through 17th centuries. By far, it covers a greater time period than any other reporter. The oldest case is from 1220, far earlier than any cases reported in the Year Books. Wallace: "[T]his book.is not in any true sense a book of reports, though it does.contain certain abstracts of manuscript cases not elsewhere found. The book consists in the main of abstracts of Fitzherbert's Abridgment, and perhaps from Statham's and Brooke's; from the Year Books, and from the reports of Keilway, Benloe, Dalison, Dyer, Plowden, Coke, and some other persons, - the source from which he gets the abstracts being generally stated in the margin. When the case which he presents is important, he occasionally appends a note of his own; being, in this respect, the father of all the various persons, who, in our own day, have published Leading Cases." Wallace, The Reporters 69. English Short-Title Catalogue T32459. Seller Inventory # 74454
