This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born on May 21, 1772 in Boston Massachussets, United States; the son of J. S. Copley the elder, the portrait painter.
He was educated at a private school and Cambridge university, where he was second wrangler and fellow of Trinity.
Called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1804, Lyndhurst gained a considerable practice.
In 1817 he was one of the counsel for Dr J. Watson, tried for his share in the Spa Fields riot.
On this occasion Copley so distinguished himself as to attract the attention of Castlereagh and other Tory leaders, under whose patronage he entered parliament as member for Yarmouth in the Isle of Wight.
He afterwards sat for Ashburton, 1818-1826, and for Cambridge university 1826-1827.
Before being taken up by the Tories, Copley was a man of the most advanced views, a republican and Jacobin; and his accession to the Tories excited a good deal of comment, which he bore with the greatest good humour.
As solicitor-general he took a prominent part in the trial of Queen Caroline.
To the great Liberal measures which marked the end of the reign of George IV and the beginning of that of William IV he gave a vigorous opposition.
He was lord chief baron of the exchequer from 1831 to 1834.
In these years it was a frequent practice with him, before each prorogation of parliament, to entertain the House with a "review of the session, " in which he mercilessly attacked the Whig government.
His former adversary Lord Brougham, disgusted at his treatment by the Whig leaders, soon became his most powerful ally in opposition; and the two dominated the House of Lords.
Throughout all the Tory governments from 1827 Lyndhurst held the chancellorship (1827–1830 and 1834–1835); and in the Peel administration (1841–1846) he resumed that office for the last time.
As in regard to Catholic emancipation, so in the agitation against the corn laws, he opposed reform till his chief gave the signal for concession, and then he cheerfully obeyed.
In 1856 at the age of 84 he was instrumental in defeating the government's plan to create life peerages.
In 1859 he denounced with his old energy the restless ambition of Napoleon III.
When released from office he came forward somewhat as the advocate of liberal measures.
He also advocated women's rights in questions of divorce.

He married the beautiful and clever widow of Lieut. -Colonel Charles Thomas of the Coldstream Guards.
His first wife had died in 1834, and in August 1837 he had married Georgina, daughter of Lewis Goldsmith.
She was a Jewess; and it was therefore natural that he strenuously supported the admission of Jews into parliament.
