    'I'he secrets of our national literature, by W. P. Courtney 1908, pp. 9, 15, 32. Notes and Queries 24 September 1887 p. 260 and from 1866 to the present day. For Edmund Thomas, second son of the serjeant, barrister at law (b. 1842, d. 1882) see The I.aw Times, vol. 74 p. 148. Edmund’s youngest son S.
