Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Victorian Chancellors, Vol. 2 of 2 The material available for the memoirs contained in this volume varies greatly both in quality and quantity. No biographer has been found as yet for Lord St. Leonards or Lord Cranworth, and the sources of information, with regard to the latter especially, are scanty in the extreme. Thanks, however, to the kindness of Dr. Tristram, K.C., who has long been associated with the Sugden family, I have had access to some correspondence between Lord St. Leonards and the great lawyers and statesmen who were his contemporaries. In the case of Lord Chelmsford I have been more fortunate. He left behind him an autobiography which covered in outline the whole of his private and professional career, and gives at considerable length the details of the more celebrated cases in which he was engaged when at the Bar. From this manuscript, which has not hitherto, I believe, been read outside the family circle, the present Lord Chelmsford has most generously allowed me to draw, a permission of which I have availed myself to the full. I have also to thank him for leave to reproduce the portrait of his grandfather which appears in these pages.
