The Reminiscences of Sir Henry Hawkins, Baron Brampton is a memoir written by Brampton himself. Sir Henry Hawkins was a prominent English judge in the late 19th century, serving as a Justice of the High Court and later as a Lord Justice of Appeal. The book provides a detailed account of his life, starting from his early years as a lawyer to his rise to the judiciary. The memoir is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of his life. The book covers his education, his legal career, his family life, and his experiences as a judge. Hawkins also shares his opinions on various legal issues and provides insights into the workings of the English legal system during his time.The book is written in a conversational style, with Hawkins sharing anecdotes and personal stories throughout. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in English legal history and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the law, history, or biography.I knew pretty well where to begin--which is a great point, I think, in advocacy--and began in the right place. I must repeat that the prisoner boldly asserted, when the evidence was given as to the finding of his cap close to the spot where the outrage was committed, that it was his cap, but that he had not worn it on that night, having lent it to one of the other men, whom he then named. This was, to my mind, a very important point in this second trial, and I made a note of it to assist me at a later period of the case. If this was true, the strong corroboration of the keeper's evidence of identity was gone. Indeed, it went a good deal further in its value than that, for it may have been the finding of the prisoner's cap that induced the belief that the man whose face he saw was the prisoner's!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
