246 INNS OF COURT. English nation. " He was a person, " says Lord Cla- rendon, " whom no character can flatter, or transmit any expressions equal to his merit and virtue. " Sel- den was called to the bar on the 14th of June, 1612. * Having been chosen as reader of Lyon's Inn, Selden, who had a strong repugnance to appear in public, absolutely refused to fill the office. For this con- tempt he was fined 20/. , and was placed out of com- mons, by order of the bench "of the Inner Temple ; but this... severe order was rescinded in 1624. Selden's chambers were in ' Paper Buildings, ' which were begun in the sixth year of the reign of James I. , by Mr. Edward Hayward of this inn, Selden's 1 chamber fellow. ' Selden, though a man of prodi- gious learning, possessed the most polished and agree- able manners ; that even such a man could indulge in innocent recreations at those seasons, when, to quote an expression from Ben Jonson's dedication of one of his comedies to the Inns of Court, ' the cap and gown was off and the lord of liberty reigned, ' appears from the part he took in preparing the grand masque presented to King Charles I.
