Leigh, Edward. A Philologicall Commentary: or, An Illustration of the Most Obvious and Useful Words in the Law, With Their Distinctions and Divers Acceptations, As They Are Found as well in Reports Antient and Modern, as in Records and Memorials never Printed: Usefull for All Young Students of the Law. 2nd ed. rev. and enl. London: A.M. for Charles Adams 1658.
First published in 1652, Edward Leigh (1603–1671) designed his dictionary for the use of students and compiled it from a variety of sources such as Sir Thomas Littleton (c.1407–1481), Sir Edward Coke (1552–1634), Anthony Fitzherbert (1470–1538) and John Cowell (1554–1611). Considered a minor work lacking in originality and comprehensiveness, this second edition was the last produced.
