Summary

"Lincoln's Inn is both a remarkable community of lawyers that has thrived for six hundred years and one of the most unspoilt corners of central London. This book offers a widely drawn picture of the Inn which will have an immediate appeal for members, inform the visitor and give a broader readership an insight into an institution and a place with an unusually rich history." "Over 200 striking illustrations enhance the informative and lively text, written by expert and enthusiastic contributors, the majority members of the Inn."--BOOK JACKET.
