FRAUNCE, Abraham (fl. 1587-1633). The Lawiers Logike, exemplifying the praecepts of logike by the practise of the common lawe. London: William How for Thomas Gubbin and T. Newman, 1588.
4o (182 x 133 mm). Collation: π2 \\h4 \\h\\h4 B-Y4 Aa-Rr4 (R4 is missigned P4). Mixed black letter and roman. Title within typographical border, woodcut initials, folding letterpress table between Ii2 and Ii3. (Table with closed internal tear, lower corner renewed on Kk4.) 19th-century gilt panelled red morocco, edges gilt, by Bedford. Provenance: Sir Edward Priaulx Tennant (armorial bookplate) -- purchased from John F. Fleming, New York, 18 September 1969.
FIRST EDITION of a work partly derived from Pierre de la Ramée's Dialectica. The title is one of three variants. Fraunce was called to the bar at Gray's Inn, and practised in the court of the marches of Wales. But he was also a poet. His dedication to the Earl of Pembroke is in rhymed hexameters, quotations from Latin and English poets appear in the text of his law book, and Virgil's second eclogue is included in both the original Latin and his own English hexameters (Kk1v-Kk3v). As Sweet and Maxwell state (I, p. 167, no. 12), this is a book from which "Shakespeare is supposed to have acquired some of his legal knowledge." STC 11344.
