Excerpt from Memoirs of the Right Honourable Henry Lord Langdale, Vol. 1 of 2 A memoir of a man who did not mix in the turmoil of political life, can seldom be made interesting to the general reader; and in very few instances does the life of an Equity Judge, the Lord Chancellor excepted, present sufficient incident for the pen of the biographer. The following pages may not, therefore, prove interesting to those who expect the progress of the great to be marked by startling events. Lord Langdale's life presents none; - it was spent in the philosophic endeavour to amend the existing law, and in dispensing justice with an even hand. Lord Langdale was not a conspicuous statesman, but he was a great Legal Reformer, and from the commencement of his career at the Bar he never ceased to work in the uninviting field of reformation.
