Description
Fidell, Thomas. A Perfect Guide for a Studious Young Lawyer, Being Presidents for Conveyances, and other Business of the like Kind. 2nd ed. London: Printed by Tho. Roycroft, for John Place, 1658.
Originally published in 1654, this little manual compiles precedents from several previous authors including Sir Edward Coke (1552–1634) and Sir Francis Bacon (1561–1626). Little is known of the author other than what he indicates on the title page: he claims membership in Furnival's Inn, one of the Inns of Chancery, and had worked on his manuscript for thirty years. Only two editions of The Perfect Guide were published.
