LIVES OF THE LORD CHANCELLORS,
AND KEEPERS OF THE GREAT SEAL OF ENG-
LAND, from the Earliest Times till the Reign of George the
Fourth. By the Right lion. JOHN, Lotd CAMPBELL, LL.D.,
Lord Chh'fJustice of England. Fourth and Revised Edition.
" The first series of the 'Lives' was published iu 1845, and in
less than six months a new edition was called for. Equal suc-
cess attended the concluding series, and now the noble and
learned lord is publishing a fourth and cheaper edition of the
whole in ten volumes, adopting the same form of publication
which has been followed by Mr. II allam in his great historical
works. Wo doubt nut that it will enjoy a circulation equal to
its merits as an entertaining book, not merely as exhibiting the
lives and character of the Chancellors, but as embodying much
valuable information in a popular form, concerning the history
of the Laws, the Constitution, aud the customs of England."—

intriduction."—Quarterly Review.
