The Chronicle of English Judges, Chancellors, Attorneys General, and Solicitors General is an attempt to bring up to date the comprehensive work of Edward Foss Tabulae Curiales. The work is an adaptation of Tabulae Curiales up to the year 1865, and continued from that date through November, 1936.
Contained herein is a list of the Chancellors; Vice-Chancellors; Judges of the King's Bench and Common Pleas; Barons of the Exchequer; Cursitor Barons; Members of the House of Lords, Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and the Court of Appeal; Masters of the Rolls; Attorneys General; and Solicitors General of England from the time of the Anglo-Saxons to the present.
A reader looking through the various source materials ls confronted with many disagreements among the various writers on the exact dates of appointments. Due to the lack of more complete material, it has been necessary to select those which seemed most accurate. Variations from Tabutae Curiales are explained in footnotes.
