About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883. Excerpt: ... 351. A Poor Boy Who Became Lord Chief Justice. CIR CHRISTOPHER WRAY, the Lord Chief Justice in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was born at Bedale, but in childhood removed with his father (a miller) to Lincolnshire. In consequence of the niggardliness of his father, he ran away from home, and begged his bread with a copy of verses at the door of a magistrate, who took him in and made him his clerk.
