ERSKINE , THOMAS ERSKINE, 1ST BARON

Additional reading Lloyd Paul Stryker, For the Defense: Thomas Erskine, the Most Enlightened Liberal of His Times, 17501823 (1947), is a modern biography by a well-known American courtroom advocate. John Campbell, Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, 5th ed., vol. 6 (1868, reissued 1973), presents an interesting and anecdotal account of Erskine's life, although it is marred by some inaccuracies.
