Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 2 of 7: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of the George IV As this individual held the Great Seal of England in his own right above seven months, - according to the plan of this work, I am called upon here to introduce a sketch of his life; but as he had little connection with the law, and was not a very interesting character, although for long tenure of high office he exceeded all the statesmen of the century in which he lived, - my memoir of him shall be very brief. He accounted for his not being upset by any of the storms which assailed him, by saying that he was "a willow, and not an oak," and there would be no great pleasure or instruction in minutely observing his bendings. He was born about the year 1476, and was the only son of Sir John Paulet, of a very ancient family in Somersetshire. One of his ancestors was a serjeant at law in the reign of Henry V. Having studied at the University, he was removed to the inns of Court, - but more with a view to general education than to qualify him for the law as a profession; and it is doubtful whether he was ever called to the bar.
