There he found all his colleagues assembled, and they were introduced one by one into the royal closet, for the purpose of resigning their wands, seals, keys, and other insignia of office. To the general surprise, Erskine returned still bearing in his hand the purse containing the Great Seal and some supposed that, by reason of his concurrence of sentiment with his Majesty as to the propriety of refusing any farther concession to the Catholics, he had been invited, and had consented, to serve under the no-popery Ministry. But the explanation of this phenomenon was, that the King, understanding that there were some causes which had been argued, but in which the Chancellor had not yet pronounced his decrees, desired him to remain a week longer in office, that he might finish the business in his Court.

Having been en gaged in the most important state trials during that period, - having been a representative of the people in every inter mediate parliament, whether held by Kings or Protectors, having assisted in passing the Bill of Rights as well as the Petition of Right, -having seen the government car ried on by prerogative for many years, without popular assem blies, - the constitution first reformed and then subverted by the Long Parliament, - the vicissitudes of the civil war, - the trial and execution of the King, - the establishment of mili tary despotism, - the recall of the ancient dynasty, two turbulent reigns, in which the voice of the law and the lessons of experience were despised, - he lived to see the Stuarts for ever banished from their native country, and the foundation laid of a constitutional monarchy which still flourishes, and has conferred upon Britons a greater degree of civil and religious freedom, and of public prosperity, than ever fell to the lot of any other nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 2 of 10: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV This extraordinary man, so interesting in his life and in his death, was born in the year 1480, near the end of the reign of Edward IV. He was the son of 'sir John More, a Judge of the Court of King's Bench, who lived to see him Lord Chancellor. The father's descent is not known, but he was of an honour able though not distinguished family, and he was entitled to bear arms, a privilege which showed him to be of gentle blood, and of the class which in every other country except ours is considered noble. The old Judge was famous for a facetious turn, which he transmitted to his son. There is only one of his sayings handed down to us, and this, we must hope, was meant rather as a compliment to the good qualities of his own partner for life than as a satire on the fair sex. He would compare the multitude of women which are to be chosen for wives unto a bag full of snakes, having among them eel: now, if a man should put his hand into this bag, he may chance to light on the eel; but it is a hundred to one he shall be stung by a The future Chancellor sprung from that rank of life which is most favourable to mental cultivation, and which has produced the greatest number of eminent men in England for, while we have instances of gifted individuals overcoming the disadvantages of' high birth and af uence as well as of obscurity and poverty, our Cecils and Walpoles, our Bacons and Mores, have mostly had good education and breed ing under a father's care, - with habits of frugality, and the necessity for industry, energy, and perseverance to gain dis tinction in the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 4 of 10: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV It might have been more interesting to have traced his career through difficulties and discouragements, than if it had been the easy result Of birth and fortune; but unluckily he has suffered more from biographical neglect than even Somers or Cowper, and the materials have perished from which it might have been hoped that tardy justice would still have been done to his memory. Unless when he was actually mix ing in public transactions, little can be known of him by this age or by posterity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 8 of 10: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV Although it was said that "Lord Clive was full of indignation at the desertion of Wedderbum," Mr. Solicitor vacating his seat, was re-elected for Bishops Castle without opposition; but he had before him the disagreeable prospect of walking up to the table between two Treasury members (his Liberal associates now shunning him), and of slinking down on the Treasury bench between Lord North and John Robinson. He dreaded that opposing parties, suspending their general hostility, would, on this occasion, interchange well-understood looks, occasioned by mutual wonderment at his apostasy. When the time came, he is said virtuously to have blushed, and to have appeared much distressed, till his colleague Thurlow shook him by the hand, and with an oath welcomed him to that side of the House which he ought never to have quitted. He for some time wore an embarrassed air, and when he had anything to say he seemed to have lost all his fluency.
