The first edition of English lawyer, Bartholomew Shower's (16581701) compilation of the judicial decisions of the House of Lords. Shower had risen to prominence as a keen supporter of James II, though fell out of political favour following the revolution of 1688. Throughout the latter decade of the century he would defend numerous high profile Jacobites at trial, whilst simultaneously establishing himself as one of the foremost tory spokesman within the Commons. His reports on the legal cases of the House of Lords, then the final court of appeal in the nation, led to controversy, with the House deeming their publication to be a breach of privilege printing was duly ceased. The remainder of Shower's records WERE published posthumously from his manuscript notes.
