The name
Willm: Knight written on the verso of the title-leaf. The date 1698 inserted in ink below the imprint.
Neither Jefferson’s manuscript nor the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue call for the second part only. The 1831 and later catalogues do call for the second
part only with the date 1698, probably taken from the written date on the title-page. The two parts are frequently bound together,
and it seems possible that Jefferson had the two parts in one volume. The British Museum catalogue dates the second part [?1702]
which date would account for its omission from the
Short Title Catalogue which lists the first part.
John Brydall, b. 1635?, English law writer, was for a time secretary to Sir Harbottle Grimston, Master of the Rolls. He was the author
of a number of treatises.
