Lintot, 1742. Third edition, edited by J. Wesley Miller, published by William S. Hein, 1999. (It is not certain, but it is possible that the original verse renderings, likely enlarged in this edition, are the poetry written by Coke for his children, as recorded in the Lambeth mss inventory of items seized from Coke’s servant Pepys. This theory is propounded by Lord Campbell. Campbell Lives of the Chief Justices I:336 n. The verses are bad enough, and Coke’s ambivalence toward rhyming poets was strong enough, that it might be true. J. Wesley Miller, the recent editor of the Reports in Verse, hypothesizes authorship by poet Giles Jacob (1688–1744).)
