Excerpt from Six Lectures on the Inns of Court and of Chancery: Delivered in Middle Temple Hall During Easter and Trinity Terms, 1912 It was the ancient custom of the Middle Temple for each Reader in turn to give "readings" and to hold "moots" in Hall. The Lent Reader for 1912 was anxious to revive this ancient custom, and his brother Benchers were good enough to concur. It was decided that six Lectures should be given on the Inns of Court and of Chancery, as it was felt that many students and even some barristers knew very little of the history of the Inn to which they belonged and of the great men connected with it. The Lent Reader desires to express his gratitude to Messrs. Underdown, Ingpen, Douglas Walker, and Duke for kindly consenting to deliver a lecture each on his own Inn; and especially to thank Mr. Balfour Browne, the Treasurer of the Middle Temple, for facilitating the necessary arrangements, and also for presiding at each of the lectures.
