Discover the quick-witted, cordial mind of John Selden in lively table-talk on faith, law, and daily life. This edition presents selections from The Table-Talk of John Selden, offering a window into the 17th‑century English thinker through informal, provocative remarks on church, state, money, and morals. The commentary and excerpts illuminate how Selden framed big questions about authority, religion, and practical living, in a voice that blends sharp wit with practical reasoning.

Robert Waters’ edition curates a sample of Selden’s candid musings, inviting readers to see how a scholar navigated disputes over abbeys and land, church governance, and the role of ministers. The notes make clear the context behind his remarks while keeping the focus on his reasoning and observations in everyday conversation.

Explore Selden’s views on church lands, Dissolution, and the balance between parliaments and monarchs.

Hear his takes on baptism, infant faith, and the place of Scripture in everyday life.

Consider his reflections on ministers, learning, and the four roles a divine should balance.

See a sharp, accessible voice discussing money, honesty, and public duty.

Ideal for readers of history, religious thought, and early modern politics who want a direct, readable glimpse into Selden’s world and ideas.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 17th-century English compendium of thought offers over 1500 records of the author's profound and wry observations and reflections on law, religion, government, and society. Organised by topic, this collection of Table-Talk, as it was known, provides insights into the mind of one of the era's most brilliant legal scholars and political thinkers, a man who was imprisoned for his refusal to support the forced loan of 1626 and was instrumental in drafting the Petition of Right. Selden's often humorous conversational style has preserved many eloquent and illuminating snapshots of early 17th-century English life and provides a unique and entertaining journey through one man's thoughtful existence, exploring matters of serious import. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
