Abstract
"Volumes 15 and 16 together complete Chapter 5 of Book V, which covers the period from the Reform Act of 1832 to the Judicature Acts, 1873-1875. Volume 16 attempts, by way of biographies of the main legal personalities, to establish the social, political, and economic background of the time. Holdsworth examines the careers of Lyndhurst, Cottenham, Truro, St. Leonards, Cranworth, Chelmsford, Campbell, West-bury, Hatherley, Selborne and Cairns and the goes on to give an account of the Masters of the rolls, beginning with Langdale and ending with Jessel, and of the Lords Justice in Chancery, from Knight Bruce to Giffard. He continues with an account of the civilians, noting the important changes made by the Acts of 1857 and 1859 in the status of proctors, and discusses the Judges of the Court of Admiralty, the Ecclesiastical courts and the probate and divorce courts. The volume concludes with remarks on the leading members of the privy council. " -Cover
