A Book About Lawyers (eBook)

A Book about Lawyers written by John Cordy Jeaffreson the author of the famous book 'A Book about Doctors'. Jeaffreson initially wrote novels, publishing Crewe Rise in 1854 and next year Hinchbrook, which ran as a serial in Fraser's Magazine. During the next thirty years a long series of orthodox three-volume novels followed; Live it down (1863) and Not dead yet (1864) were well received on publication. Novels and Novelists from Elizabeth to Victoria (1858) compiled at the British Museum opened up a popularising vein that became Jeaffreson's main work .

The present book is a work of fiction which describes how a law-student of the present day finds it difficult to realize the brightness and domestic decency which characterized the Inns of Court in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Under existing circumstances, women of character and social position avoided the gardens and terraces of Gray's Inn and the Temples.
