Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers

 ......................................................................................................................................
Description
In this little volume will be found a series of short biographical notices of some of our most renowned English lawyers, having reference principally to the earlier period of their lives, and occasionally detailing a few of their more remark- able "sayings and doings."
From Lord Campbell's "Lives of the Chief-Justices" and of "the Chancellors" I have principally derived my information; and to those delightful volumes the young student is directed, that he may acquaint himself with these illustrious characters in full-drawn portraiture.
This work, designed as a school-prize book, will, it is hoped, stir the mind of many a youth to emulate the worthy example and tread in the footsteps of the eminent men who have from age to age filled the highest places in our Courts of Judicature, and who are among the greatest benefactors and brightest ornaments of our nation.
