Book Description
Excerpt from The Law Magazine, or Quarterly Review of Jurisprudence, Vol. 55: February, 1856 Mated tone of voice, he stood erect, and was by no means wanting in that energy of manner and action so useful and becoming in a mixed popular assembly. Indeed he was a splendid exception to the general rule, that lawyers fail as orators in Parliament. As a specimen of his forensic abilities, I need only refer to one of the many of his reported Speeches, on behalf of the plaintiff in the well-known case of Huguenin v. Baseley.1 I may add that he was a great master of sarcasm, and did not fail to use it on a fitting occasion; but that, as a general rule, he considered it an unfair weapon, and only to be sparingly employed.
