This work contains the preface that appeared in Lord Fortescue’s edition of Sir John Fortescue’s
The difference between an absolute and limited monarchy
, 1714 [q.v. no. 2704] mentioned by Jefferson in his
Essay on Anglo-Saxon
, sent to Sir Herbert Croft on October 30, 1798: “
. . . I was led to set a due value on the study of the Northern languages, & especially of our Anglo-Saxon while I was a student
of the law, by being obliged to recur to that source for explanation of a multitude of Law-terms. a preface to Fortescue on
Monarchies, written by Fortescue Aland, and afterwards premised to his volume of Reports, developes the advantages to be derived,
to the English student generally, and particularly the student of law, from an acquaintance with the Anglo-Saxon; and mentions
the books to which the learner may have recourse for acquiring the language . . .
”
Sir John Fortescue Aland, First Baron Fortescue, 1670-1746, justice of the common pleas. He was a descendant of Sir John Fortescue, chief justice in the reign of Henry VI,
and his father took the name Aland on his marriage with Sarah Aland of Waterford.
