}}Not much is known about Robert Lucas. Evidently, he was a barrister who left the legal profession to become a minister in the county of York.<ref>John William Wallace, ''The Reporters Arranged and Characterized with Incidental Remarks'' (Boston: Soule and Bugbee, 1882), 386.</ref> He also authored ''Cases in Law and Equity'' published in 1736 which became the tenth volume of the ''[[Modern Reports]]''.<ref>Ibid</ref> The work does not possess much authority and has been cited infrequently.<ref>Ibid</ref>

==Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library==
Listed in the [[Jefferson Inventory]] of [[Wythe's Library]] as "Cases in L. & Eq. or 10th. Modern. fol." and kept by [[Thomas Jefferson]]. Jefferson later sold a copy to the Library of Congress in 1815, but the volume no longer survives to verify Wythe's previous ownership.<ref>E.

The Wolf Law Library followed their recommendations and moved a copy of the same edition from another rare book collection to the [[George Wythe Collection]].

==Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy==
Rebound in period style with blue title label and marbled endpapers. Purchased through the generosity of Daniel W. Baran and Lena Stratton Baran, Class of 1936.
