“ It is true with prominent exceptions that generally professions attract candidates in proportion to their lucrativeness, but with all noble minds the stipend is regarded as a "due and necessary adjunct only and not as the great object of life." All true men have "a work to be done irrespective of fee, or even at any cost, or for quite the contrary of fee." Such minds, I fear, are as yet far more rare here than in the West. But, gentlemen, it is such minds that are especially needed now, and I would fain hope that in some of you there is this mind. ”

“ Two thousand a year was hardly to be made in the Court of King's Bench, except by the crown lawyers. 59 It is evident, therefore, that an official man would have been well paid if he had received a fourth or fifth part of what would now be an adequate stipend.
