The individual entries in this book relate to all those who, between 1845 and 1945 inclusive, held office or rank as follows:_
Lord Chancellor
Judge of the Superior Courts
Attorney-General
Solicitor-General
Recorder of London
Common Serjeant
Judge of Mayor's and City of London Court ( or its predecessors)
County Court Judge
Serjeant-at-Law
Queen's Counsel
Metropolitan magistrate
It will be appreciated that a subject is often eligible by more than one of these criteria.
A natural consequence of this arrange ment is that the period under consider ation is, in a sense, extended. Some of those still living in 1845, had careers which began in the previous century, and some who had qualified for entry by 1945, remained professionally ac tive well beyond that date.
