Description: "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 greater interest because he was also the most prominent civil lawyer of his generation ... [He also was at various times] Judge of the Admiralty, Master of Requests, Master in Chancery, and Master of the Rolls; [as well as, administratively,] Chancellor of the Exchequer and Privy Councillor"--Provided by publisher.
