Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law Review and Quarterly Journal of British and Foreign Jurisprudence, 1862, Vol. 17 This work furnishes us with materials of much interest and instruction, especially to the Law Reformer, and we trust it will enable us to read a useful lesson to all public men who aspire to that name. We cannot compliment Mr. Hardy on that portion of these volumes which properly belongs to him. The papers, letters, and documents connected with the life of the late Master of the Rolls have been entrusted to him, and he has duly filed, noted, copied, and recorded them in order and date, and to all the praise that can be awarded to him in that capacity he is fairly entitled; but beyond this we cannot justly go. He has displayed a remarkable want of judgment in the insertion of many papers which it would have been more creditable to the memory of Lord Langdale to have omitted; he has filled his pages with trivial letters and journals which serve no purpose but to increase the bulk and add to the expense of the book; he is frequently illinformed and presumptuous in his remarks on the persons whose names he introduces in connection with his hero; and in many of his statements he sins not only against good taste, but is blundering and inaccurate to no small extent. He has, however, performed one good service; he has enabled us to estimate the real character of Lord Langdale, and to state the just obligation which the country owes to him.
