Speeches by the lord chancellor [Lyndhurst], lord Brougham, lord
Cottenham, and lord Campbell in the house of lords, on tuesday the
9th august, 1842, at giving judgment in the appeal, the rev. John
Ferguson and others, appellants, against the earl of Kinnoull and
the rev. R. Young, respondents; with the judgment appended from Mr.
Gurney’s shorthand notes. Edinb. James Gall and son [1842], 8o, pp.
36, 1s. The improvement in appearance of this title and the facility
in reading, counterbalance all such objections as that we are
accustomed to Lord, and not lord, or Tuesday, and not tuesday. The
compilers of the [English] Law List have long since discarded
capitals for the names of streets with great advantage, for example
they print, “gray’s-inn-square,” not Gray’s Inn Square: “court of
exchequer”; “house of lords,” &c. The Catalogue of the Advocates
library, lately printed, is a good example; refer for instance to
the title under Bullion, vol I., 1867, p. 763, a title that in
ordinary catalogues would bristle with capitals.
