From Wikipedia:

John Selden (16 December 1584 – 30 November 1654) was an English jurist, a scholar of England's ancient laws and constitution and scholar of Jewish law.

From Sir John Soane's Museum Collection Online:

The 'table talk' of the lawyer and scholar John Selden was compiled in the 1640s by his amanuensis Richard Milward and first published posthumously in 1689. The contents are arranged alphabetically in short sections devoted mainly to issues of religion, morality, and politics.
