	John Selden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Selden (December 16, 1584 - November 30, 1654) was an English jurist, legal antiquary and oriental scholar.
		John Selden was educated at the free grammar school at Chichester, and in 1600 he went on to Hart Hall, Oxford.
		The fact that Selden was not retained in the great case of ship money in 1637 by John Hampden, the cousin of his former client, may be accepted as additional evidence that his zeal in the popular cause was not so warm and unsuspected as it had once been.
