A93553	A treatise of gavelkind, both name and thing. Shewing the true etymologie and derivation of the one, the nature, antiquity, and original of the other. With sundry emergent observations, both pleasant and profitable to be known of Kentish-men and others, especially such as are studious, either of the ancient custome, or the common law of this kingdome. By (a well-willer to both) William Somner.	Somner, William, 1598-1669.	1659 (1659)	Wing S4668; Thomason E1005_1; ESTC R207857	133,861	236
