One of the most famous judges of King George III of England, John, Earle of Eldon, has come to Harvard. His expression is captured to the living by a marble bust, which has just been secured for the Harvard Law School by agents in England. He is portrayed as on the bench with full bottom wig, bands and judicial gown.
The Earle of Eldon was one of England's most famous Lord Chancellors and the third great Chancellor in England's judicial history to systematize Equity. He and Chancellor Kent of New York, are the great figures in Equity of modern times. The Earle of Eldon, born in 1751, was from 1788 until 1827 successively solicitor general, attorney general. Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and Lord Chancellor. The bust which has just been secured was made during his long term as Lord Chancellor from 1801 to 1827.
