[The interpreter. 1727]
Title
A law dictionary: or the interpreter of words and terms, used either in the common or statute laws of Great Britain, and in tenures and jocular customs: first published by the learned Dr. Cowel, and in this edition very much augmented and improved, by the addition of many thousand words, found in our histories, antiquities, cartularies, rolls, registers, and other manuscript records. With an appendix, containing two tables; one of the antient names of places in Great Britain, and the other of the antient surnames; both of them very necessary for the use of all such, as converse with antient deeds, charters, &c.
