Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lives of the and Keepers of the Great Seal of Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Reign of Queen Victoria
The office of Lord Chancellor has existed in this country for many centuries; able and distinguished men many of these Chancellors were, and they exercised great in?uence upon the destinies of the kingdom. I felt anxious to render my work useful to the statesman as well as to the professional reader, and as, from the want of contemporary re ports, the legal materials for the Lives of the early Chancellors were very meagre, I tried to make these memoirs interesting by narrating some of the stirring historic events in which they took part.
