"The merits of his Lives" are very considerable. They
are eminently readable. The style is lively, though
rough, careless, and incorrect; every incident is
presented effectively; they are full of good stories,
and they contain a great deal of information about
the history of law and lawyers which is not easily to
be found elsewhere." (DNB)
