Table-Talk, 1689 (1905)

Table-Talk is a collection of conversations and reflections on various topics by the English jurist and scholar, John Selden. Originally recorded by his amanuensis, Richard Milward, in the 17th century, this edition was published in 1905 and includes an introduction by Arthur Freeman. The book covers a wide range of subjects, including history, politics, religion, law, and literature. Selden's wit and erudition are on full display as he discusses everything from the origins of the English language to the nature of human society. This volume is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential thinkers of his time, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intellectual history of early modern England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
