It is one of the most amusing books we have read for some time. It cannot fail to create unusual interest among the medical profession, and will be perused with the utmost avidity by the general reader. No circulating library can do without it.”—OBSERVER. “We have not met with so agreeable and attractive a work for a long time. The spirit and tone is good; the execution most praiseworthy. The sketches of those who are gone, and who now adorn the profession, are written with great taste.”—AGE. “Certainly the most entertaining, and not the least valuable work, which it has been latterly our good fortune to peruse.”—BRITTANNIA. “These volumes will become great favourites with the reading world, and cause many a hearty laugh by the next winter's fire-side.”—METRoPolitan CoNSERVATIVE Journ AL. “A clever and highly entertaining work, by one intimately acquainted with the defects and merits of the characters whom he so graphically brings under our notice.” —Count GAzerTE. “Our Author possesses a considerable share of learning and industry, and has a º and agreeable style of narrative. In the first chapter the Author exhibits a mass of erudition. The chapter on ‘Medical Poets’ deserves a place among the “Curiosities of Literature.” The “Art of Rising in Physic,” is as good a specimen of polished, but cutting, corrosive, sarcasm as we have seen for some time.

PREFACE, SIR WILLIAM JoNEs has observed, that “the only road to the highest stations in this country, is that of the law.” and, probably, it is to a general conviction of this kind that we owe the multitude of aspirants for its honors and dignities. There is no profession in the country, in whose character and prospects so much interest is felt, and which exercises so important an influence upon our social and political relations. Those who are the most promi ment in its ranks are well known to the public, and there are few persons to be met with who are not, more or less, connected with some one belonging to it. At the bar and on the bench, have been found those, * Sir E. Coke has given a list of “near two hundred great and noble families, which had even in his time risen by the law.” vi PREFACE. who, in the worst and darkest times, have nobly vindicated the supremacy of the laws, and, despite the ambition of des potic sovereigns and the fury of licentious demagogues, have defended the rights of the people, and the prero gatives of the crown. - In allusion to the repeated attempts of James I., to overawe his parliaments, Mr. Godwin observes, that “it is impossible to review these proceedings without feel ing that the liberties of England are to no man so deeply indebted, as to Sir Edward Coke.” And, in how many instances have those liberties been preserved by the in trepidity and independence of the judges of England 1 How many evils have we been spared—seeing that we, like every other government resting upon public opinion as its basis, have ever been oscillating between extremes —by the purity and impartiality with which justice has been administered amongst us. “In my mind,” says the greatest orator of our age, “he was guilty of no error— he was chargeable with no exaggeration—he was betrayed by his fancy into no metaphor, who once said, that all we see about us, King, Lords, and Commons, the whole machinery of the state, all the apparatus of the system, and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve good men into a box.” Bacon has expressed his con viction of the vast importance of our judicial system, FIREFACE. vii; in terms not less pointed and forcible. “When any of the four pillars of government,” says he, “are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.” “Dr. Johnson,” says Boswell, “thought favourably of the law; and said that the sages thereof, for a long series backwards, had been friends to religion.” This contradicts the old monkish maxim—we presume the language to be canine-latinity— “Bonus Jurista, malus Christa.” “I must needs say,” observes Richard Baxter, “that the improvement of reason; the diverting men from sen suality and idleness; the maintaining of propriety and justice; and, consequently, the peace and welfare of the kingdom, is very much to be ascribed to the Judges and Lawyers.” “Lord Burghlie,” says his biographer, “com mended the studie of the common law above all others; and said, that if he were to begin his life again, he would follow that studie.” Bishop Warburton has said of lawyers, that “their manners have in every age been such as were the first improved and the last corrupted.” His friend Dr. Hurd has said that “though in the great bodies of churchmen and lawyers, some will always be found to dishonor them viii PREFACE. selves, there have never been wanting others to do justice to the public, and to assert, maintain, and preserve the dignity of their respective professions.” . In the following work, we have attempted to trace the fortunes of some of our more eminent lawyers—to show the means by which they elevated themselves—and the struggles they underwent in endeavouring that elevation. Every work in the progress of these volumes has been fully searched, which it was thought would contain infor mation respecting the profession, and those who have been prominent as its leaders. In the pages of the Law Maga zine—a publication of considerable interest and importance —much valuable matter has been found, of which the author has made a liberal use. As he is most anxious that the pretensions of this work should not be mistaken, he has also to express his acknowledgments to the compilers of an amusing little work, entitled “Westminster Hall,” (understood to have been the production of the late Mr. Henry Roscoe, and one of his brothers), which is com posed for the most part, of extracts, and which had it come to the knowledge of the author earlier, would have spared him much labour—often wearisome, and still oftener profitless. He is also greatly indebted to Hacket's Life of Dean Williams, and North's Life of Lord Guildford—works, º PREFACE. ix which will fairly rank among the most inimitable biogra phies of our language. - For imperfections—for sins of omission and commis sion—the author has no excuse to offer but this—that the work was composed under very considerable dis advantages. The latter portion of it was written, at in tervals, in the midst of occupations of a more serious character. In dismissing these volumes, the author begs to express his hope that they may be found of some utility.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • Conservation Plan Old Sessions House 22 Clerkenwell Green London Ec1r Ona
    CONSERVATION PLAN OLD SESSIONS HOUSE 22 CLERKENWELL GREEN LONDON EC1R ONA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Old Sessions House is one of the finest and most important historic buildings in Clerkenwell. Constructed in the late eighteenth century as the Middlesex Sessions House for the magistrates’ courts, it is a high-status building intended to dominate Clerkenwell Green and its surroundings. In 1860 onwards it was re-modelled and extended to present grander elevations to the newly laid out Farringdon and Clerkenwell Roads. Following the relocation of the magistrates courts in 1920 the premises became the headquarters of Avery Scales, and in the 1970s the building was acquired as a Masonic Lodge who occupied the premises until 2013. The new owners, Ted and Oliver Grebelius are therefore only the fourth proprietors in a 235 year history. 2. This Conservation Plan evaluates the historic and architectural significance of the building and its surviving fabric. It sets out the risks and opportunities in the context of the building’s condition, status and current conservation policy. It makes proposals for the repair and enhancement of the building, including a strategy of phased work. It suggests how improvements can be made to the setting of the building within the surrounding environment of Clerkenwell Green and Farringdon Lane. INTRODUCTION 3. This Conservation Plan for the Old Sessions House, Clerkenwell Green, has been commissioned by Oliver and Ted Grebelius, who acquired the building in late 2013. The Plan aims to inform and direct an appropriate way forward to re-use this important historic building and its immediate environs.

  • Richard Elmore's Letters to the Earl of Darnley
    Richard Elmore’s Letters to the Earl of Darnley Edited and with an introduction by Caoimhín de Bhailís Richard Elmore M.D. M.R.C.S. Attributed to Alfred Elmore, R.A. (Private collection) 1 John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley Attributed to Thomas Phillips, National Trust Mount Stewart, Scotland. 2 Introduction Richard John Elmore is one of the many nineteenth century political campaigners who have fallen out of view and hence consideration when we discuss the history of the period. Elmore was an activist who made valuable contributions to the debate on Catholic Emancipation and also a campaigner that sought improvements in the economic relationships that existed between Ireland and the rest of the then United Kingdom, as Ireland was a part of the Empire at the time. He was a close friend of Daniel O‘Connell and a director of the National Irish Bank; he was a defender of his Catholic business associates and, for a period, a major employer of linen workers at his factory n Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Richard as born in around 1785 and took his first appointment as a hospital assistant with the 1st Garrison Battalion in January 1807.1 According to Elmore he had moved to Clonakilty around 1807 with the intention of practicing as a physician, however he could ill afford to continue to practice as he often had to provide his services without charging a fee due to the poverty amongst the peasantry and he was ‗obliged frequently to put my hand into my own pocket; no man could possibly avoid it that possessed one spark of humanity in his 1 WO 25/75/92.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • 67 - County of London Sessions
    RESEARCH GUIDE 67 - County of London Sessions CONTENTS Introduction References and Catalogues Judicial Records Mental Deficiency Acts Licensing Records Indexes of records deposited with the Clerk of the Peace Parliamentary Deposited Plans Other copies of Parliamentary Deposited Plans Other Plans Highway Diversion and Stopping Up Orders Electrical Lighting Provisional Orders Introduction This research guide is a brief introduction to some of the more used series of records of the County of London Sessions. Until 1971 the Justices of the Peace for each county and many boroughs were responsible for holding Sessions of the Peace where criminal cases were tried before a jury. These were usually known as the Quarter Sessions because originally they were held four times a year, but in London they were held every month. More serious cases such as murder, rape, blasphemy, bigamy, libel, certain types of bribery and forgery, and offences under the Official Secrets Acts, were referred to the Central Criminal Court or outside London, to the assizes. The Justices also had other responsibilities including the confirmation of new licences granted to public houses, the stopping up and diversion of highways, and the registration and deposit of maps and documents for public record. The County of London was a new county which was formed in April 1889 from part of Middlesex north of the Thames and parts of Kent and Surrey south of the Thames. The Local Government Act 1888 which created the County of London also provided for a new court of quarter sessions which was given jurisdiction over the whole of the new administrative county except for the City of London which retained its own quarter sessions, the City of London Sessions, whose records are held by London Metropolitan Archives (CLA/047).

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
