Biographia Juridica

The Biographica Juridica, subtitled "A Biographical Dictionary Of The Judges Of England From The Conquest To The Present Time, 1066-1870", is a lengthy and rigorous review of the major legal minds in British history. It was compiled by Edward Foss, a lawyer and devoted amateur historian who died only two months before its publication.
