About This Item
1682 LAW 1ed Life of Matthew Hale England English Civil War Dissenters Burnett
Matthew Hale was a 17th-century English judge who was an influential figure in the legal proceedings against offenses to the royal crown in England. Author Gilbert Burnett published the best account of life of Hale – a biography which covers the entirety of Hale's young life through his judicial career and eventual death. Curiously, Burnet gives special attention to Hale's sympathy toward dissenters, which was particularly interesting considering the climate at the height of the English Civil War.
