Editorial Note
The Courts, of Chancery, Queen’s Bench
and Exchequer. I have to day looked
down upon them from the bench in either
tribunal. Such is the courtesy of the
presiding Judges to a stranger. The conduct
of proceedings here is dignified but it is
at the same time quite courteous and
genial, both between Counselors and
between Counsel and the Court. I heard
the name of our countryman Theodore
Sedgwick
Birth: 1746-05-09 Death: 1813-01-24
pronounced from the bench
withdistinguished respect.

It is certainly a very pleasing thing to
see partisan contention within moderate
bounds and yet be free from implication
in the strife.
The Athenaeum is the great
Conservative Club, The Reform Club that
of the Liberals. In these clubs the
consultations preparatory to the
great struggle on the opening of Parliament
are held by parties who never meet
with each other. Both of them have
allowed me the privileges of their societies
respectively, and I hear with much
interest their discordant speculations.
