First edition of a defense of the ancient Constitution, beginning with the Magna Carta. "English Liberties spread devotion for jury trials to the colonies. Care also deserves recognition for popularizing history, restyling political rhetoric, and promoting liberty of conscience." (Oxford DNB). "Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a series of laws and enactments became identified with the idea of preserving England's ancient liberties from royal overreach. These included Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, and the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, among others. Henry Care created and broadly circulated this pamphlet that contained these enactments, along with concise commentary drawn from Coke's Institutes. Care's pamphlet, which appeared in several American editions throughout the eighteenth century, was exceedingly popular in North America." (Library of Congress) This text was an important source for many of the works of the founding fathers including "The Excellent Privilege of Liberty" (1687) by William Penn. It was used as inspiration for drafting the Virginia Declaration of Rights by George Mason, and Jefferson had two copies in his library. "The importation from England, as well as the colonial publication, of English statutes and documents, law reports and juristic treatises, diffused, especially in the eighteenth century, a knowledge of the Common and Statutory Law, and thus acted as a very considerable factor in the extension of its principles-including the principles of Magna Carta and the English Constitution-throughout the colonies. Prominent among the books in the hands of the colonists were those dealing with the rights and liberties of Englishmen. Thus, among the first seven books printed in the colonies. [was] the fifth edition of Henry Care's "'English Liberties or the Freeborn Subjects' Inheritance' (1721). of which contained Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the Habeas Corpus Act, and various other English statutes, as well as some of the leading English constitutional decisions and a general account of the liberties of the subject, trial by jury, and other constitutional matters."
