Table-Talk: The Discourses of J. Selden [Ed. by R. Milward.]

By John Selden

"Table-Talk" is a collection of the informal conversations and opinions of John Selden, a renowned 17th-century English jurist, scholar, and Member of Parliament. Compiled and edited by his secretary, Richard Milward, these discourses offer a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a brilliant and influential figure during a turbulent period in English history.

Spanning a wide range of topics-from politics and religion to law and literature-Selden's observations are characterized by their wit, erudition, and independent spirit. "Table-Talk" presents a series of insightful aphorisms and reflections that remain remarkably relevant today. This edition preserves the authenticity and charm of the original, making it an invaluable resource for historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in the intellectual landscape of early modern England.
