Lord Mansfield

by C.H.S. Fifoot

Lord Mansfield, in Dr. Johnson's immortal phrase, was "not a mere lawyer: he drank champagne with the wits." This biography not only details the life and work of one of the great figures of English legal history, it provides an appreciation of the intellectual attitude which conditioned the achievements of 18th-century England in law and science, as well as in religion and politics.
