A.L. Goodhart William Goodhart, QC * My father, Arthur Lehman Goodhart, was born in New York City on the 1st of March 1891 into a wealthy Jewish family. He was the last of the three children of Philip and Hattie Goodhart. Both his parents came from families which had profited greatly from the astonishing economic growth of the USA. Arthur's paternal grandfather, Julius Goodhart, came from a Jewish family which had originally settled in Holland – Goodhart is a Dutch name – but which had moved to Germany by the time of his birth. He emigrated to the USA in 1837 and settled in Cincinnati. When he got established he sent home to Germany for a wife, and Rosa Rosenbaum was duly supplied.

    Copyright © The British Academy 1997 – all rights reserved Proceedings of the British Academy, 94, 475–487 Arthur Lehman Goodhart 1891–1978 ARTHUR LEHMAN GOODHART, one of the outstanding common lawyers of the century, was born in New York on 1 March 1891, and died in London on 10 November 1978, aged eighty-seven. For nearly sixty years he lived and worked in England, but despite his Anglophilia and his thorough acclimatisation here, he remained throughout a citizen of the USA, and unmistakably American. For over fifty years, nobody had a greater influence on the development of the common law. This resulted mainly from the steady flow of his writings, but also from his teaching, his committee work, and his easy relationship with many leading figures in the law. Though England was the main beneficiary, the whole common law world profited. His inheritance was rich. He was endowed with ability, public spirit, modesty, and generosity, as well as material wealth. His grandparents were all born in Europe and emigrated to the USA in the 1830s and 1840s. His father, Philip, was born in Cincinnati, but as a young man he went to New York, where in due time he became a prominent member of the New York Stock Exchange, in partnership with his brother. He was a kind and gentle man who died in 1944 at the age of eighty-eight. Arthur’s mother, Harriet, was a sister of Irving Lehman, who became Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, and of Herbert Lehman, who, after being Governor of the State of New York from 1932–42, became Director-General of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), and then from 1948–56 a US Senator who was one of Senator Joe McCarthy’s most resolute adversaries.

APPENDIX 1: OWNERS AND INHABITANTS OF EASNEYE PREFACE I first came to Easneye in 1964, when I had been appointed as the Resident Tutor at All Nations Missionary College, which had just moved there from Taplow, near Maidenhead, Berkshire. I lived with my family in North Lodge, one of the cottages on the Easneye estate, for the next four years, but my connection with All Nations and Easneye has continued up to the present. I worked for thirty-four years full-time and for another seven years part-time, and now my son, who was only eighteen months old back in 1964, is a member of the All Nations faculty. I feel, therefore, that my long connection with the place gives me the interest and ability to look into and record something of the past history of Easneye and its inhabitants. Mr David Morris, the Principal of All Nations when it was at Taplow as well as for several years after the move to Easneye, and whose vision and hard work were vital in making the college what it is today, used to give a very informative and entertaining history of the site, the building, the Buxton family and the college (never dull but sometimes bordering on the over-imaginative!) When he retired, the Rev.

Bruce, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT “ORDINARY TALENTS AND EXTRAORDINARY PERSEVERANCE”: THE LIFE OF SIR THOMAS FOWELL BUXTON David S. Bruce, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 Born into a gentry family with roots in the Society of Friends, the evangelical social conscience of Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786-1845) was developed as he operated a brewery in Spitalfields, perhaps London’s poorest parish. He was instrumental in raising funds for poor relief and establishing soup and bread kitchens there during the winter of 1816-1817. His interest and research on penal discipline brought him national prominence and led to a parliamentary seat which he held for nearly two decades. Buxton’s association with noted activist William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led to his own involvement in the anti-slavery movement, a cause he fiercely championed, resulting in Britain’s abolition of slavery throughout the Empire in 1834. After leaving Parliament in 1837, Buxton focused on revitalizing Africa through a program to end international slavery and encourage African self- sufficiency.

This brings in certainty in legal matters and the litigant has an idea of how the court will act in similar situations and facts. In the course of rendering decisions on actual disputes the courts explain and expound the law; they clarify and clear the ambiguities in the Legislation; in the process they make statements of law which operates as a source of law. Thus, the theory of precedent plays an important role in the development of Jurisprudence of the country. In India, under Article 143 of the constitution, law laid down by the Supreme is binding on all the courts in India.
