Excerpt from Handbook of the Incorporated Law Society of the United Kingdom: Part I, Historical and General; Part II, Charters, Acts, Bye-Laws, Regulations, &C IN the introduction to the first issue Of the Incorporated Law Society's Calendar it was stated that prior to the year 1825 there was no trace of any organization designed for purposes analogous to those for which the Incorporated Law Society was established, and this statement is repeated in many of the earlier prospectuses of the Society. But some documents discovered in the Society's vaults prove that in the year 1739 such a society, called 'the Society Of Gentlemen Practisers in the several Courts Of Law and Equity, ' was established, and at its first meeting declared its utmost abhorrence Of all male and unfair practice, ' and took measures to detect and discountenance the same. In the year 1810, when the available records end, that Society was in full activity, and in a prosperous financial condition and there is evidence Of its continued activity in the year 1822.
