1868 LAW Book About Lawyers Jeaffreson Bloomsbury Parliament Bedford Jokes

‘A Book about Lawyers’ is a tongue and cheek look at British lawyers. The book describes the everyday lives of lawyers in this period between 1770 and 1830 in the Bloomsbury district and its expanding district to include the Bedford and Foundling estates.

The New York Times says

, “we have lawyers in arms, lawyers on horseback, lawyers in love, and lawyers in Parliament. We are told of their salaries and fees, their wigs and gowns, their jokes and gaieties. We meet them at home and abroad, in court, in chambers, and in company. In the chapters headed ‘Mirth,’ the author has gathered together a choice sheaf of anecdotes from the days of more down to Erskine and Eldon.”
