The present article treats of legal study at Cambridge as regulated and suggested by the Examination for Honours; the special Examination in Law, which forms one of the avenues to the Ordinary Degree, being considered elsewhere1. Nor will the shortlived connexion between Law and General History receive much notice here, as that connexion will have ceased before any students entering at the date of this edition can present themselves for Examination.
It is intended in the following pages to supply information, first, as to the course of study to be pursued by a Candidate for Legal Honours ;it the University of Cambridge; second, as to the advantages of that course; third, as to the different degrees in Law conferred by that University.
I. Course of study to be pursued by a Candidate for Legal Honours.
A Candidate for Honours in the Law, as in any other, Tripos must first pass in the Additional as well as in the ordinary subjects of the Previous Examination. This it is desirable for him to do at tlie earliest possible occasion, in order to leave himself free for the extensive sphere of reading required by his Tripos. No greater mistake can be committed by a student than to leave the Tripos subjects to the last year.
