[1]William Hawkins was, during Zenger's own period, probably the outstanding author of legal textbooks. Delancey's quotations are from his _Treatise of the Pleas to the Crown_ (London, 1724), I, 192-193.
[2]Henry Sacheverell, a Tory divine, attacked the Whig Ministry for not being Royalist or High Church enough. He was tried for seditious libel and found guilty (1710), but his case was instrumental in the decline of the Whigs and the rise of the Tories under Queen Anne. See G. N. Clark, _The Later Stuarts_ (Oxford, 1940), pp. 216-217.
[3]Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury, was the historian of his time as well as one of its most controversial ecclesiastico-politicians. His pastoral letter sounds innocuous enough now, but his enemies in Parliament impugned it as too Royalist and too favorable to the Dissenters (1693). See Macaulay's _History of England_, "Fireside" ed. (Boston and New York, 1910), IV, 464-466. Bishop Burnet was the father of New York's Governor William Burnet.
[4]Thomas Brewster, one of the many printers prosecuted during the reign of Charles II, was convicted (1663) of violating the licensing laws when he published _The Phoenix, or the Solemn League and Covenant_, which defended the regicides who executed Charles I. For Chief Justice Robert Hyde's excoriating summing up, see J. W. Willis-Bund, _A Selection of Cases from the State Trials_ (Cambridge, 1882), II, 415.
