' Hawkins ' to use the more familiar name of the best known and 

 perhaps most popular English judge of the nineteenth century was 

 called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in May, 1843, and after 

 ' sixty years' hard labour ' in the practice and administration of the 

 Law has been prevailed upon to give the world the benefit of his 

 exceptional experience of life in all its phases. These two volumes 

 of reminiscences are packed with good stories legal, racing and 

 miscellaneous for Sir Henry was as keen a sportsman as an 

 advocate and he has come in contact in his time with every grade 

 of society and occupation. He enables the reader to form an idea of 

 what a * big practice ' means, of the destructive effects of his own 

 cross-examination, of the eccentricities of a British jury ; and his 

 tales of Tattersall's, Crockford's, the Ring, theatricals at Knebworth, 

 the Barnstaple election, and last, but not least, of his beloved four- 

 footed 'Marshal,' Jack, make a most interesting and attractive book.
