Produktbeschreibung

A fascinating account of the personal experiences of various cases undertaken by 19th century English lawyer Samuel Warren. Excerpt: Something more than half a century ago, a person, in going along Holborn, might have seen, near the corner of one of the thoroughfares which diverge towards Russell Square, the respectable-looking shop of a glover and haberdasher named James Harvey, a man generally esteemed by his neighbours, and who was usually considered well to do in the world. Like many London tradesmen, Harvey was originally from the country. He had come up to town when a poor lad, to push his fortune, and by dint of steadiness and civility, and a small property left him by a distant relation, he had been able to get into business on his own account, and to attain that most important element of success in London-a connection. Shortly after setting up in the world, he married a young woman from his native town, to whom he had been engaged ever since his school-days; and at the time our narrative commences he was the father of three children.

Autorenporträt

Samuel Warren (1807-1877) was an English author, legal writer, and barrister in the 19th century. Born from a legal family, he was raised in County Cork, Ireland. Warren attended Trinity College in Dublin for his education. He then decided to pursue a career in law and in 1837 joined the Inner Temple in London as a barrister. Warren was successful in the legal field, but his literary accomplishments are arguably what made him most famous. "Ten Thousand a Year," a legal satire published in 1839, is his most well-known piece of writing. The book offers a sarcastic and funny portrait of the legal profession while parodying the social and legal structures of the day. Samuel Warren wrote articles and legal treatises in addition to novels. His satirical essay "The Experiences of a Barrister, and Confessions of an Attorney" (1833) offers a light hearted look into the legal profession. Warren's creative creations, which frequently combined humour with social criticism, were a reflection of his astute observations of society and the legal profession. His literary and legal contributions have had a long influence, and scholars continue to examine his writings for their literary and historical relevance.
