The Reports of that Learned Sir Henry Hobart Knight
From Wythepedia: The George Wythe Encyclopedia
by Sir Henry Hobart
According to Judge Jenkins: ‘in Hobart were many noble things, an excellent eloquence, the éclat of ancestry, the most engaging sweetness animated with a singular gravity’ (Lothian MSS, viii). Hobart was buried on 4 January 1626 at Blickling. He left houses at Highgate and St Bartholomew's in London, and Chapel in the Fields, Norwich. He was succeeded by his son John, the second baronet. Hobart's widow was buried at Blickling on 30 April 1641. In 1641 a volume of his law reports was published, with subsequent editions in 1650, 1671, 1678, and 1724. [1]
