Excerpt from Land in Fetters or the History and Policy of the Laws Restraining the Alienation and Settlement of Load in England: Being the Yorke Prize Essay of the University of Cambridge for the Year 1885 While life is too short to review the reviews of one's work, there is yet one criticism on my last Essay, to which, as it may also affect the present work, I should wish to refer. The Saturday Review regretted that my treatise was marred by a pervading fiippancy in tone, and expressed the h0pe that I might When a little older become less cocksure. I naturally took this to heart, and was about to endeavour to mould my style on the sober and modest exemplar prescribed by the Saturday Review itself. But my intentions were bewildered by a critic in the Law Quarterly Review, who informed me that the author's opinions are for the most part sound and sober, and are clearly and modestly stated. And on reflection I felt that a style Which was, in the opinion of two such authori ties, both sober and fiippant, cocksure and modest, was such a unique production as to be worth preserving.
