John Inglis, Lord Justice-General of Scotland

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book, which had its origin in some contributions to the daily and periodical press, pretends to be nothing higher than a record of facts and opinions concerning the subject of it, and of the legal incidents and changes occurring in the half century during which Inglis was at the head of Scots Law. It also aims at an intelligent estimate of his character, the estimate being formed partly upon those opinions, and also in great measure from the writer's own observation.
