Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shavings
I was, perhaps, the least successful of all the pupils of Sir Charles Mathews, who now so charmingly prosecutes the public.
I failed with conspicuous consistency at every branch of the Bar.
I was hopeless in the Committee Rooms of the House of Lords and equally versatile in those of the House of Commons.
In the Queen's Bench, I never won a verdict, even from the commonest of Common Juries.
