Excerpt from The Life of Lloyd, First Lord Kenyon, Lord Chief Justice of England The latter part of the eighteenth century was singularly rich in great lawyers. The names of Dunning and Camden alone would be sufficient to irradiate the age in which' they lived and when the same era can boast the forensic pre-eminence of an Erskine, the classical perspicuity of a Mansfield, the force and fire of a Thurlow, and the judicial acumen of an Eldon, a gallery of distinguished men is presented such as perhaps no similar period of time can furnish.
