''It is suffi,cient for us to thank Lord Campbell for the honest industry with which he has thus (BJ prosecuted his large task, the general candor and liberality with which he has ana!}'l:ed the lives and characters of a long succession of influential magistrates and ministers, and the manly style of his narrative. We need hardly say that we shall expect with great interest the continuation of this performance. But the present series of itself is more than sufficient to give Lord Campbell a high station among the English authors of his age."-Quarterly RevieuJ. "The volwnes teem with exciting incidents, abound in portraits, sketches and anecdotes, and art at once interesting and instructive. The work is not only historical and biographical, but it io anecdotal and philosophical. Many of the chapters embody thrilling incidents, while as a whDle, the publication may be regarded as of a high intellectual order."-Inquirer. "A work in three handsome octavo volwnes, which we shall regard as both an ornament and an honor to our library. A History of tb,e Lord Chancellors of England from the institution of the otlioe, is necessarily a 'History of the Constitution, the Court, and the Jurisprudence of the Kingdom, and these volumes teem with a wo1ld of collateral matter of the liveliest character for the g-eneral reader, as well as with much of the deepest mterest for the professional or philosophie~~l mind."-Saturtlag Courier.
