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 read ings 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.
