LORD ST LEONARDS. [EDWARD SUGDEN]. - Misrepresentations in Campbell's Lives of Lyndhurst and Brougham. Corrected by St. Leonards.

London: John Murray, 1869. 1st edition. "When after a social dinner, at which I was present, Sir Charles Wetherell, with much humour, sketched the character of several of the guests; he thus addressed Lord Campbell:- "Then there is my noble and biographical friend who has added a new terror to death." I have lived to find that he has left behind him a new terror to life. After such a publication as the Lives of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham, no man can be sure that he may not be libelled and misrepresented by an attack published in his lifetime.." Pp.101, owner's details in pencil to reverse of front free endpaper. Brown cloth, original paper labels to front and spine, spine label very darkened, bumps tp edges of boards. G+.** "The life of Lyndhurst in the volume of Lord Campbell's Lives of the Chancellors published after Lord Campbell's death, while containing some interesting facts, is so full of misstatements and malignant innuendo as to be worthless as an authority. Written apparently to blast the good name of a great lawyer and statesman, it has only proved damaging to the reputation of its author for accuracy, candour, and honourable feeling" (AWebofEnglishHistory).
