Ignoramus, Comoedia nunc denuo in lucem edita cum notis historicis et criticis ; quibus insuper praepo- nitur vita auctoris, et subjicitur Glossarium vocabula forensia dilu- cide exponens, accurante J. S. Hawkins. 12mo. London. 1787. The Comedy of Ignoramus was designed to ridicule the mixed lan- guage of the Common Law, and the dulness of some of its practitioners. It was played twice before King James, at Cambridge, whose preju- dices against lawyers is well known, and who is said to have been greatly delighted with its performance. The keenness of the satire created quite a sensation among the lawyers of those times, and even aroused the ire of Lord Coke, the invariable sturdy defender of the Law and its profes- sors. The Comedy, however, was so highly relished for its wit and satire, that no less than nine Latin and two English editions have been published, besides a number of representations of it on the stage. Haw- kins' is the best Latin, and Codrington's the best English edition. The former contains a life of the author, and voluminous English notes, together with a good glossary of Law Terms.
