Abstract
"Lord MacMillan, who, unhappily, did not live to see the publication of this volume, had varied and interesting life, and the tale which he has to tell is not merely that of the conventional lawyer. In the fifty-five years after he has to tell is not merely that of the conventional lawyer. In the fifty-five years after he has to tell is not merely that of the conventional lawyer. In the fifty-five years after he was admitted a member of the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh he pursued a successfully anomalous course which must be unique in legal annals." - Cover
