Abstract

"This book is the interesting record of many of the principal activities in the life-time of a well-known K.C. With the advantage of having occupied almost every position in the legal fraternity, the author has been able to give a fascinating account of the life of an Inn of Court and of his own experiences at both the outer and inner bars and on judicial benches. But he has never allowed the law to exclude a strong interest in politics, and the part he has played in many movements of the last half-century enables his to give much first-hand information on subjects of outstanding importance. In the chapters on Woman Suffrage, Liberal imperialism, national liberalism, a national party, London university reconstruction and penal reform, will be found material essential to a complete appreciation of the history of these movements." - Cover
