Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law Society an Address
From this standpoint, the provision of the best and highest facilities for the education and training of Solicitors has been one of the chief objects of my life a feeling which led to my becoming the founder and President so long ago as the early sixties, of the Hull Law Students Society, a form of debating-society far better, according to mv long experience of the methods of the House of Commons, than the so-called Parliamentary Debating Societies, which are unreal, which are necessarily marked by some restriction of subjects of discussion, and which imitate a procedure which, in my view, is far from conducive to the despatch of business. For, in Parliament, Ours is the praise of standing still, And doing nothing - with a deal of skill.
With the same purpose, I contributed, in 1866, to the Law Times a series of articles, afterwards published separately, entitled A Course of Reading for the Final Examination of The Incorporated Law Society, in which were stated some of the views I am about to express to you tonight. More recently, with a similar object, the settlement of the new Regulations for the Law Degrees of the University of London have had all the help within my power, as a member of the Senate of the University while, during my recent Presidency of the Law Society, the chief work of the Council consisted in reorganising this, its own, School of Law.
