Excerpt from The British Prose Writers, Vol. 2: Selden's Table Talk; Sir W. Blackstone's Analysis of the Laws of England
Nothing can be more interesting than this little book, containing a lively picture of the Opinions and convenation of one of the most eminent scholars and most distinguished patriots England has produced, living at a period the most eventful of our history: there are few volumes of its site so pregnant with sense, combined with the most profound learning it is impossible to Open it, without finding some important fact or discussion, something practically useful and applicable to the business of life: it may he said of it, as of that exquisite little manual, lord Bacon's Essays. After the twentieth perusal one seldom fails to remark in it something overlooked before.
