A very interesting legal life, well worth the read. First Edition. A very good copy in the original title-blocked cloth. Spine bands and panel edges somewhat rubbed and dust-toned as with age. Remains quite well-preserved overall: tight, bright, clean and strong. 

Charles John Darling, 1st Baron Darling, PC (6 December 1849 – 29 May 1936) was an English lawyer, politician and High Court judge. He retired from the bench in 1923, and was created Baron Darling, of Langham in the County of Essex on 12 January 1924 by King George V. In retirement he spoke in the Lords on legal issues and sat in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He also sometimes sat in the King’s Bench Division to deal with its arrears. He died at the Cottage Hospital, Lymington, Hampshire, on 29 May 1936 aged 86, and was succeeded as Baron Darling by his grandson, Robert Charles Henry Darling, his only son having predeceased him.
