FITZHERBERT, SIR ANTHONY (14701538)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 446 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FITZHERBERT, SIR ANTHONY (14701538) , English jurist, was born at Norbury,
Derbyshire
 . After studying at
Oxford
 , he was called to the English bar, and in 1523 became
justice
  of the Court of Common Pleas, the duties of which office he continued to discharge till within a short time of his death in 1538. As a judge he left behind him a high reputation for fairness and integrity, and his legal learning is sufficiently attested by his published works.
He is the author of La Graunde Abridgement, a digest of important legal cases written in Old French, first printed in 1514; The Office and Authority of Justices of the Peace, first printed in 1538 (last ed. 1794); the New Natura Brevium (1534, last ed. 1794), with a commentary ascribed to Sir
Matthew
 
Hale
 . To Fitzherbert are sometimes attributed the Book of Husbandry('523),the first published
work
  on
agriculture
  in the English language, and the Book of Surveying and Improvements (1523) (see
AGRICULTURE
 ).
