Description
Lambarde, William. The Dueties of Constables, Borsholders, Tythingmen, and Such Other Lowe and Lay Ministers of the Peace. London: Printed by Thomas Wight and Bonham Norton, 1599.
This brief practical manual on the duties of local English peace officers was written by William Lambarde (1536–1601), author of a similar manual in this exhibit, Eirenarcha, on the duties of justices of the peace. This work was originally issued in 1583, shortly after Eirenarcha appeared in 1581. Both works were among the earliest examples of guidebooks for lawyers about legal practice and were often bound together. This particular copy is from the 1599 edition, an enlargement by Lambarde of the earlier edition.
