John Brydall (Bridall) was born in Chatsworth, Devonshire in 1635 and lived at least until 1705(the last known date of his published work).[1] He was the son of John Brydall who was also a lawyer and a Barrister at Lincoln's Inn (one of the four Inns of Court in London). John Brydall entered Queen's College in 1652 and graduated in 1655.[2] Prior to graduating, he enrolled as a low ranking member at Lincoln's Inn and was considered the obvious choice to replace his father upon his stepping down.[3] At some point in his legal career, it appears that he acted as secretary to Sir Harbottle Grimston, Master of the Rolls.[4] While one source indicates that by the time of his death he had authored thiry-six legal works, there seems to be some confusion between what he wrote and what his father may have written1,3.

Or, a sure law-guide to the conveyancer, consisting of many observations and various questions, with their Resolutions; Relating To Feoffments, Grants, Fines, Common Recoveries, Exchanges, Releases, Confirmations, Attornments, Surrenders, Bargains and Sales, and Devises. By John Bridall of Lincolns Inn, Barrister. 1698. This book was published in two parts, sometimes bound together, with both parts focusing on the legal issues involved in the transfer or conveyance of property4. The book is broken into discussions of eleven different methods of conveyance of property. Each section begins with general definitions and discussion followed by Brydall's observations on the topic4. This portion of the book is followed by a section of questions and their resolutions starting with Feoffments. These questions are based on cases and are followed by answers in traditional Socratic method4.
