" I have," says Lord Coke, " a register of our Writs, originally written in the reign of King Henry II., (in whose time Glanville wrote,) containing the original Writs, which were long before the Conquest, as in the said Preface to the third Part appeareth ; and yet, also, remaining in force, &c., which is the best book j'ct extant of the Com- mon Law, and so ancient as the beginning whereof cannot be showed." The compilation of this very ancient book has been ascribed to Ralph de Hengham. It was printed as early as 1531, but the fourth imprint is much enlarged, and more accurate than any preceding edition. Its authority in former times was very great, but it is now " a piece of juri- dical antiquity ; and is oftener recurred to as a matter of historical curiosity than of practical use. The selection made by Fiizherbert is abundantly more than sufficient for the few inquiries now made into the nature of Writs." 8 Co. Rep. Pref. 23; (10) Pref. 24 ; Dug. Orig. 56; 4 Inst. 140; Nic.
