John Selden [1584-1654] English jurist and constitutional scholar. His Titles of Honor, which outlined titles of nobility, peerage law, and heraldry, was first published in 1614. In 1631, Selden produced this second edition, which was much revised and enlarged and became the standard work in the field.
