Sir Julius Caesar was the servant of Elizabeth I, James I and
Charles I, serving as Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, Master
of Requests, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Master of the Rolls and
Privy Councillor. He also sat in the later Elizabethan parliaments
and all but one in James' reign. Throughout his long and active
career, Caesar preserved hundreds of volumes of his papers. They
are largely in the custody of the British Museum and the text of
this edition has been taken from BM Lansdowne MS 125. At the end of
the sixteenth century English civilians were pressed to defend
themselves and their courts against the judicial monopoly which the
common lawyers were asserting. While this has often been regarded
as a problem of conflicting legal systems and jurisprudential
ideologies, it is apparent from Sir Julius Caesar's work that the
questions were far more pragmatic than ideological.
