M. Hill Book The late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods witnessed the emergence of a transitional figure in the crown's service, a person who was not yet fully a bureaucrat in the modern sense, but who nonetheless acted with a considerable degree of independence from the crown. Sir Julius Caesar (1558-1636) is an exemplar of this new kind of officer of state, and his career assumes even grater interest because he was also the most prominent civil lawyer of his generation. Through Caesar's career over a half-century, we can observe the inner workings of patronage, the day-to-day problems of royal service, the quarrels between rival crown servants, the conflicts between common law and civil courts, and more personally, the way in which an ambitious man could build a dynasty for his sons. Caesar occupied such judicial positions as Judge of the Admiralty, Master of Requests, Master of Chancery, and Master of the Rolls. Administratively, Caesar served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and as Privy Councillor. Through him we see some of these institutions at critical points in their history. Admiralty under stress of the privateering war against Spain; Request when that hapless court not only was subject to prohibitions, but saw its very existence threatened; and the Exchequer in the course of the fiscal crisis that culminated in the abortive negotiations over Salisbury's Great Contract in 1610. L.J. Hill is Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine, and the editor of Sir Julius Caesar's The Ancient State, Authoritie, and Proceedings of the Court of Requests.
