Mare Clausum (Dominion of the Sea) is the most famous British reply to the argument of Grotius's Mare Liberum, which denied the validity of England's claim to the high seas south and east of England. John Selden  1584-1654] argued that England's jurisdiction extends, in fact, to all waters surrounding the isles. His use of common-law principles to rebut Grotius's philosophical argument is quite impressive. Holdsworth notes that his case was enriched by \"a vast historical knowledge, replete with references to the customs of peoples from the times of the Greeks to his time.\" Holdsworth, A History of English Law V: 10-11.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Selden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584772727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584772729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.25d","brand":"John Selden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46136065818879,"sku":"9781584772729","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9bead9e-054d-4413-ac5d-2853233b74dc.jpg?v=1726415582","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mare-clausum-of-the-dominion-john-selden-9781584772729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
