An edition of Mare clavsvm: the right and dominion of the sea, in two books. In the first, the sea is proved by the law of nature and nations, not to be common to all men, but to be susceptible of private dominion and propriety as well as the land. In the second, it is asserted that the most serene King of Great Britain is the lord and proprietor of the circumfluent and surrounding sea, as an inseparable and perpetual appendix of the British Empire. Written at first in Latin, formerly translated into English, and now perfected and restored (1663)
