The third part of the Institutes of the laws of England : concerning high treason, and other pleas of the crown, and criminal causes ...
A 1680 London legal treatise by Sir Edward Coke, the third part of his Institutes of English law, printed by W. Rawlins for Thomas Basset and owned by John Adams, aimed at lawyers and students dealing with treason and criminal cases. Its pictures are a formal engraved portrait of Coke in judicial robes and ruff, and a small heraldic shield with a lion, crosses and a Latin motto ringed by stars, offering designers a restrained, austere seventeenth-century vocabulary of heraldry and portraiture.
