Book Description

Excerpt from Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers Hile engaged in preparing these biographical sketches for the press, I have frequently called to remembrance an evening I spent, many years ago, in company with the eminent and well-known jurist, the late Mr. John Austin. I saw him under very favourable circumstances, when none were present but his intimate friends and connections, and he was drawn into a long and deeply interesting talk. On returning home I took notes of what he had said, and as some of his observations had reference to the subject of juris prudence, I have determined to give them here.
