Apleasant Dickensian diversion spiced with a delightfully wrysense of humor, The Law and Lawyers of Pickwick offers anaccount of one of the most famous legal cases in Englishliterature: Bardell v. Pickwick. Lockwood observes that Mr.Pickwick would have fared even worse under the modern law ofevidence, which would have given Buzfuz an opportunity toamass evidence for a devastating cross-examination. Thisvolume originated as a lecture delivered at Morley Hall,Hackney, in 1893 that was attended by Henry FieldingDickens, the author's son and an attorney.
