Excerpt from A Short History of the English BarAges, and their venerable halls and ancient chambers seem a visible representation of that gladsome light of jurisprudence so warmly commended to the student by Lord Coke. In the words of a writer in the American jurist: we think that everything relating to the early history and antiquities of the Inns of Court must be interesting to the profession here. Wherever the Common law is studied and practised, they must be regarded as the original fountain-head of the law. We can not but think that an American lawyer would wander through their courts and halls, and gaze upon their painted windows with a fervour of interest, Which his English brother, long accustomed to them, could hardly conceive oi, and might smile at, as a boyish weakness.That the place of the Bar in our national history has ever been a great one cannot be denied. From its ranks have gone forth some of the most fearless exponents of public liberty and justice, whose deeds are no small part of the material that forms the fabric of our fortuitous constitution. Few can contemplate that time honoured society of men with its great traditions, venerable customs and strong knit solidarity, without indulging in some of those feelings of emotion which spring from the recollection of great achievements and the glory of an historic past worthily continued in the present.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
