LIVES OF THE CHIEF JUSTICES OF ENGLAND.
FROM THE NORMAN CONQUEST TO THE DEATH OF LORD MANSFIELD.
BY LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL.

"There is, indeed, in Lord Campbell's works much instruction; his subjects have been so happily selected, that it was scarcely possible that there should not be. An eminent lawyer and statesman could not write the lives of great statesmen and lawyers without interweaving curious information, and suggesting valuable principles of judgment and useful practical maxims: but it is not for these that his works will be read. Their principal merit is their easy animated flow of interesting narrative. No one possesses better than Lord Campbell the art of telling a story: of passing over what is commonplace; of merely suggesting what may be inferred; of explaining what is obscure; and of placing in strong light the details of what is interesting."—Edinburgh Review.
