Published by The Heraldry Society 28 Museum Street, London Revised Edition 1967. 1967.

First edition in publisher's original wire stitched pink card wrap covers (soft back). 8vo. 7½'' x 5¼''. In his opening arguments in that case, Squibb, who was simultaneously a distinguished barrister and a historian, argued, to the satisfaction of the court, that since the modern class of Doctors of Laws were no longer trained as advocates, their role must necessarily be performed by barristers. This was because Victorian reforms, which had unified the other classes of court attorney into the single profession of Barrister, had overlooked the Doctors of Law. Contains 16 pp. In Very Good condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A.
