We made an error in noticing last week the appointment
of Mr. F. Pollock to the Corpus Professorship of Jurisprudence at Oxford, which we erroneously spoke of as the Professorship of English Law. It is the Vinerian Professorship, held by Mr. Albert Dicey, which is the Professorship of English Law for- merly held by Blackstone. Mr. Pollock's chair is of quite modern date, created, in fact, chiefly for Sir Henry Maine. And in speaking of the Law School of Oxford, we ought not to have omitted the very able Chiehele Professor of International Law, Mr. Holland, whose "Elements of Jurisprudence" have been noticed in these columns as making a great advance on Austin's book, nor Mr. Markby, the learned reader of Indian Law. Again, Sir W. Anson, though nominally only Warden of All Souls, is really an additional and very able teacher of Law in the University.
