* The weekly Solicitor’s Journal absorbed the Legal
Observer and the Weekly Reporter. “The origin of [this
journal] was due to a ‘conviction long entertained by solicitors in
town and country, that their branch of the legal profession ought to
be represented by a newspaper established and conducted themselves,
reflecting their opinions, watching over their interests and
reputation, and urging upon the legislature and the nation their
just and reasonable demands.’ Its purpose was ‘to secure for the
solicitor, so far as its power shall extend, the recognition of his
fair rights, and proper social character and position’.”: Hicks,
Materials and Methods of Legal Research 209-210. See illustration below.
