The only biography of the Earl of Moray "The Good Regent"
Maurice Lee, Jr. gives us a nuts and bolt view of James Stewart, Earl of Moray and first of the string of Regents of Scotland on the behalf of the infant King James VI.This political biography does not give us much of a personal view of Moray but definitely outlines the Reformation and political processes that he went through in his struggles with England and Europe.With all the stories based on Mary, Queen of Scots it is nice to hear some of the other side of the story.I enjoyed the lessons and believe Moray would have been a great King, had he not been a bastard.His political savvy and Generalship in battle were unsurpassed and led him to becoming the "Good Regent" A person who deserves more recognition.Great book, full of info.I became a bit distracted with all the foot notes, but understandable in a book of this nature. ...

Product Description

James McGregor Stewart (1889-1955) was perhaps the foremost Canadian corporate lawyer of his day. He was also an appellate counsel, venture capitalist, Conservative Party fundraiser, bibliographer of Rudyard Kipling, and sometime university teacher of classics. A leader of the bar in the inter-war period, he was the first Maritimer to serve as president of the Canadian Bar Association.He distinguished himself mainly in constitutional cases before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.During his career, Stewart was also head of the leading law firm in eastern Canada (now Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales), director and vice-president of the Royal Bank of Canada, and senior counsel to the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations.

Above all, Stewart was committed to the idea of law as a truly learned profession and to the bar as the most important legal institution. To this day, no lawyer has held such prestige and power both within and outside Atlantic Canada; in his time he was the only Maritime lawyer who gained full acceptance by every branch of the Canadian establishment.

Thematic rather that chronological in approach, this fascinating legal biography provides both a history of a uniquely Canadian career and an interpretation of its significance for Stewart's time and ours. ... Read more
