TitleLetter from W W [William Warwick] Buckland, 9 Grange Road, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorBuckland; William Warwick (1859-1846); British jurist
Date25 June 1919
DescriptionIn putting a case to Larmor, he intentionally avoided the personal, but believes that P.H. Winfield, in Larmor's college, would be well qualified for a Law Fellowship. Bushe Fox did not think highly of him, but that is not the end of the matter. Bushe Fox was a very succcessful teacher, and learned in property law, but had little sympathy with legal history, Winfield's area of research. Sir Frederick Pollock, not a lenient critic, thinks highly of Winfield and much has appeared in the Law Quarterly Review. Buckland agrees that the Law Tripos alone is not a sufficient test and dicssuses this in Winfield's case.
