Edward Bulstrode (c.1588–1659) was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1606 but rose very slowly in the legal profession.[1] He was named an utter barrister in 1614 but did not become a bencher until 1629. In 1653, Bulstrode was appointed chief justice for north Wales. Bulstrode composed his reports in French then translated them into English before selecting "the fittest and choicest cases" for publication.[2] His volume covers King's Bench cases from 1609-1639 and apparently utililizes Plowden's methods–"there cannot be a stronger recommendation."[3] However, "Bulstrode's reputation as a reporter was not high."[4]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Both Dean's Memo[5] and Brown's Bibliography[6] list the second edition of this title based on entries in John Marshall's law notes.[7]
