"The Reminiscences of Sir Henry Hawkins (Baron Brampton)" by Brampton is a collection of autobiographical anecdotes and reflections written in the early 20th century. The work offers insights into the life and career of Sir Henry Hawkins, a notable figure in the British legal system, particularly during the Victorian era and beyond. Through his personal recollections, Hawkins provides readers with a glimpse into the legal practices of his time, as well as the experiences that shaped his views on justice and the law. The opening of the book introduces readers to Hawkins's early life, starting with his formative years at Bedford School and his path towards a career in law. He recounts the influence of his family, particularly his father's position as a solicitor and the strained financial circumstances that drove him to seek a career in the legal profession. Hawkins describes his initial disdain for the drudgery of a solicitor's office, which ultimately led him to pursue the Bar. Through humorous and poignant anecdotes, such as his first experience in court and his observations of various judges, Hawkins sets the stage for the rest of his reminiscences, highlighting the lessons learned from a life spent in the courtroom.
