Description
Rastell, William. A Collection of Entries of Declarations, Barres, Replications, Rejoynders, Issues, Verdicts, Judgements, Executions, Proces, Continuances, Essoynes, and Divers Other Matters. 4th ed. London: Printed by John Streater, James Flesher, Henry Twyford, Assigns of Richard Atkins, and Edward Atkins, 1670.
William Rastell (1508–1565) originally published his Collection of Entries in 1564 and it immediately superseded previously published works of this type. Not only did he include a greater number of precedents and forms from a variety of excellent sources, he also arranged them alphabetically under headings for ease of use. These innovations influenced multiple books on precedents that followed in the seventeenth century.
