Sir Thomas RAYMOND 1626/7-1683
Biographical Note
Son of Robert Raymond, rector of Bures, Suffolk. BA Christ's College, Cambridge 1646; entered Gray's Inn 1645, called to the Bar 1651. Serjeant at law 1677, made a baron of the exchequer, and knighted, 1679; he subsequently sat in the courts of common pleas and King's bench. His Reports of divers special cases was published posthumously in 1696, and reprinted in the 18th century.
Books
Raymond's brief will has no mention of books, and bequeathed all his goods and chattels to his wife Anne. His library, together with that of John Lloyd, curate of North Mymms, was sold by auction in London by Edward Millington, beginning 3 December 1683. The sale catalogue lists 3900 lots, divided between Latin theology (547), Latin miscellaneous (772), English divinity (1150), English miscellaneous (1033), French and Italian books (225), and volumes of tracts and miscellanies (111). The catalogue does not distinguish the source of the books and it is not possible to know how many came from each man; the preface does however mention the "curious collection which [Raymond] had made, and almost completed, of the general histories abroad, and of our monkish historians, with a collection of the particular lives of the kings of England, as also of chronicles old and new".
Characteristic Markings
None of Raymond's books have been identified.
