Excerpt from A Short History of the English Bar A few years ago when the writer of these pages was engaged in reporting work at the Law Courts, he conceived the idea of putting together in narrative form some details relating to the history of the English Bar, which has played so large a part in the political and social annals of the country. Various circumstances delayed the fulfilment of the project, but the plan was never entirely lost sight of. The little work now presented to the public will, it is hoped, be deemed a sufficiently adequate description of the customs and traditions of a great profession to which this country is indebted for no small part of that eminence which distinguishes her among surrounding nations. The chequered career of the Inns of Court - where so many illustrious orators, statesmen and judges have received their first notions of the national jurisprudence - presents as interesting and curious a picture of manners and observances as any to be found in history.
