Thomas Hutchinson Tristram : a Memoir. (Longman and Co. 4s.

6d. net.)—The late Dr. Tristram (1825-1912), Chancellor of London and of four other dioceses, and Commissary-General of Canterbury, was one of the best-known ecclesiastical lawyers of our time, and this homely memoir, full of intimate detail, will interest his many friends. He was the lait advocate called to the Bar of Doctors' Commons, and outlived all his fellows. After his marriage he lived for a time in one of the pleasant houses of the Doctors, which were demolished in 1867 when Queen Victoria Street was laid out. Dr. Tristram was one of the junior counsel for the Tichborne Claimant. It may be noted that he thought the man to be neither Arthur Orton nor Castro, but an illegitimate brother of the lost Baronet.
