First edition of the earliest English treatise devoted exclusively to the law of husband and wife and one of the principal early attempts to systematize the common-law doctrine of coverture in a single practical work. Issued in expanded editions 1719 1738 it remained a point of reference for eighteenth-century practitioners and compilers. The treatise organizes the law of marriage as a coherent doctrinal field proceeding from formation solemnization and validity through the incidents of coverture to dissolution and separation. Its treatment of the feme covert is comprehensive addressing personal status contractual incapacity property rights and procedural position. In contrast to earlier more diffuse authorities it offers a structured exposition designed for professional use with attention to pleading evidentiary questions and precedent. Of particular legal interest is its detailed account of the interaction between strict coverture doctrine and the equitable and customary devices that qualified it. The discussion of marriage settlements trusts and separate maintenance agreements documents the means by which property could be secured to or for the use of married women notwithstanding their formal incapacity at common law.

A fascinating and remarkably modern critique of the social and legal barriers to marriage in late 18th-century England. The anonymous author identifies four primary "evils" calling for Parliamentary intervention: parental tyranny over-education male vice and economic luxury a general culture of expensive tastes that makes marriage financially daunting. The author moves beyond mere complaint to offer specific legal remedies including the abolition of the celibacy requirement for fellows at Oxford and Cambridge and a lowering of the age of consent. The work argues for a return to "the simplicity of nature" by allowing young people to follow their affections before they are corrupted by the "pride of life."

Baron and Feme. A Treatise on the Common Law concerning Husbands and Wives.

1700réf. 176470London: Printed by the Assigns of Richard and Edward Atkyns Esquires for John Walthoe 1700. The first English treatise devoted exclusively to family law First edition in an exceptionally well-preserved binding of this oft-cited work on the legal position of women in 17th- and 18th-century England and a key summary of the social mechanisms underpinning such works as The Taming of the Shrew. "Baron and Feme" refers to the legal fiction that husband and wife shared one legal personhood. The anonymous author of this treatise draws heavily on Sir Edward Coke's edition of Littleton aiming to codify and explain family law "in all the Circumstances of Life from the Solemnization of Marriage to the Divorce" p. vi. "Although written in English at a time when many law books were still published in Latin and law French it was clearly intended for a legally trained reader" Glover p. 75. This copy includes extensive ink annotations in an 18th-century hand suggesting a similar level of legal training. The annotations mainly cite other legal reference works but they also explicate several points of law and invoke others to challenge assertions in the text. The notes on the rear blank verso for instance observe that "the Wife's Portion consisting of Choses in action shall not upon ye husb's death be liable to his debts tho' ye husb: before marriage had made an adequate Jointure on her".
