An Epitome of All the Common & Statute Laws of This Nation Now in Force: Wherein More Than Fifteen Hundred of the Hardest Words or Terms of the Law are Explained
About the Author: William Sheppard (d. c.1675)
In the words of the Tarlton Law Library (University of Texas School of Law):
“William Sheppard was born in Gloucestershire and enjoyed a large law practice in the country before he was invited by Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) to come to London. Title page, An Epitome, 1656He was made one of the clerks of the upper bench, soon advancing to serjeant-at-law, and later preparing the charters granted to town corporations. While in office, he wrote several published works, including the much-reprinted Precedent of Precedents, as well as legal guides for constables, justices of the peace, parsons, and court keepers. During the Protectorate, he wrote a number of political pieces, all strongly Parliamentarian in tone. Unsurprisingly, Sheppard was removed from office during the Restoration and fell into obscurity.
Sheppard’s work was said to be the earliest of the “encyclopedic” abridgments, containing the whole law, reduced to scientific treatises in alphabetical order by subject. As Sheppard claimed in his preface to have worked on this volume for more than 36 years, he must have been disappointed with the tepid response the work received; and while he produced a revised, enlarged edition in 1675, both volumes were soon forgotten.”
