When he was a youth, Fabian Philips (1601-1690) attended one of the inns of Chancery before eventually leaving to attend the Middle Temple.[1] It was during his time at the Middle Temple that Philips developed a thorough understanding of the law.[2] After Philips departed the Middle Temple he began to demonstrate his fiercely pro-royal philosophy.[3] He was a strong advocate for the king’s prerogative and was so passionate in his pursuit to serve Charles I that two days before the king was beheaded, and despite the extreme unpopularity of his conduct, he drew up a protest against the "intended murder" of Charles I.[4] He printed the protest and placed it in public places despite the protest being counter to the popular consensus in England at the time.[5]


After the restoration of Charles II, when the bill for abolishing tenures was depending in Parliament Philips published Tenenda non Tollenda, a protest against the dissolution of tenure, in 1660.[6] The title was one of three works written by Phillips on the abolition of tenures; the other two were Ligeancia Lugens, or, Loyaltie Lamenting the Many Great Mischiefs and Inconveniences which Will Fatally and Inevitably Follow the Taking Away of the Royal Pourveyances and Tenures in Capite (1661) and The Mistaken Recompense for Pourveyance and Tenures (1664).[7]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Brown's Bibliography[8] includes a choice of the first edition (1660) of Fabian Philipps' Tenenda non Tollenda or the first edition (1661) of W. Phillips' The Principles of Law Reduced to Practice based on quotations in the manuscript copy of John Marshall's law notes "Joint Tenants & Tenants in Common: One deserved £100 to five equally to be divided between them & the survivors & survivor of them & if A (one of the five) died before marriage, her share to go over to another person, held a tenancy in common. Philips."[9] Brown notes that Tenenda Non Tollenda fits the subject matter of Marshall's quote better, but Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of The Principles of Law Reduced to Practice. Favoring the subject matter link over the Jefferson link, the Wolf Law Library purchased copy of the work by Fabian Philipps.
