  note: "While his manuscripts were bequeathed to the Bodleian, his printed books were presented to the Bodleian in 1659 by the executors of John Selden's will; see Macray 110-23; SC II 594-5; D. M. Baratt, `The Library of John Selden and its Later History', BLR 3 (1951), 128-42; John Sparrow, `The Earlier Owners of Books in John Selden's Library', BQR 6 (1931), 263-71; The Bodleian Library in the Seventeenth Century, Guide to an Exhibition (Oxford, 1951), 43-7; Philip 47-8; Rogers, Treasures, 121, 130-1; A.

Selden supra 111 was drawn up at Selden's house in London, probably shortly after his death; MS. Broxb. 84.10 and MS. Add. C. 40 were drawn up at the Bodleian Library in 1672, the former for Chief Justice Vaughan, the other for another of Selden's executors; some of Selden's books bear his motto `περί παντός την ελευθερίαν'."
