He gave a short summary of his work in an address to the Social Science
Association on November 11, 1872, published in the _Fortnightly Review_
for December 1872. I may also refer to an article upon 'Sir James
Stephen as a Legislator' in the _Law Quarterly Review_ for July 1894, by
Sir C. P. Ilbert, one of his successors.]
[Footnote 104: I may say that he especially acknowledges the share of
the work done in his own time by Mr. Whitley Stokes, secretary to the
Council, by Sir H. S. Cunningham, for some time acting secretary, and by
Mr. Cockerell, a member of the Council.]

S. Cunningham, reached a ninth edition in 1894. It gives the changes
subsequently made, which are not numerous or important.]
[Footnote 115: Sir C. P. Ilbert, however, is mistaken in supposing that
Fitzjames wrote his _Liberty, Equality, Fraternity_ during his official

[Footnote 118: I do not feel that it would be right to omit this remark,
although I am certain that, taken by itself, it would convey a totally
