A Nest of Wasps Lately Found Out and Discovered in the Law Countries, Yielding as Sweet Honey as Some of Our English Bees is a book written by William Goddard and published in 1615. The book discusses the legal system in the Netherlands and the practices of lawyers and judges in that country. It argues that the Dutch legal system is corrupt and dishonest, and that lawyers and judges are more concerned with making money than with dispensing justice. The title of the book is a metaphor for the legal profession, suggesting that lawyers are like wasps who sting their clients for profit. Despite its critical tone, the book also acknowledges that there are some honest and competent lawyers in the Netherlands who are dedicated to serving their clients. Overall, A Nest of Wasps provides a fascinating glimpse into the legal culture of the early 17th century and raises important questions about the ethics of the legal profession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
