Abstract

John Selden
Dick, H. K. | June 20, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Table Talk of John Selden" edited by the writer Frederick Pollock. This neat volume seems a cruel waste of effort because it reprints what was not greatly in need of reprinting. No doubt students of the history of law find it valuable. Really it is a book rich only in its quantity of commonplace observations on religion, state, money, women, poetry, war--all set out in language remarkable for the complete absence of the verbal magic peculiar to Selden's contemporaries.
