"A Nest of Wasps" is a book by William Goddard, published in 1615, that critiques the legal system in the Netherlands, portraying it as corrupt and driven by profit rather than justice. The title uses the metaphor of a wasp's nest to represent the legal profession, suggesting lawyers are like wasps, stinging their clients for financial gain.
This edition has been reprinted in England at the Oxford University Press from the copy in the Worcester College Library, and is issued by the Clarendon Press with a Bibliographical note by Mr C. H. Wilkinson, Fellow and Librarian of Worcester College
