Walker-Smith, Derek. Lord Reading and His Cases: The Study of a Great Career. NY: Macmillan. 1934. hardcover. isbn: none. scarcity: common.

A look at the casework of one of Britain’s most famous Attorney Generals who went on to become Lord Chief Justice and Viceroy of India. Lord Reading is perhaps better remembered to Titanic collectors as Sir Rufus Isaacs. He was the lead Board of Trade counsel in the British Titanic enquiry. There is one chapter on the Titanic trial. Although not directly related to the disaster, there is also a chapter on the Marconi scandal which was a direct result of Isaacs' purchase of Marconi stock at the time of the Titanic trial.

The book is more a look at the history behind some of Isaacs' most famous cases rather than a commentary on his part in these cases. Some chapters are stronger than others. Unfortunately, the chapter on the Titanic disaster is one of the weakest in the entire book. It is a very one-sided view of the trial, and Isaacs' part is barely touched on. Still, as a look into Edwardian England jurisprudence, it is an interesting work, as well as bringing into some focus one of the lesser known personalities surrounding the disaster.

A history of the famous insurance underwriting company Lloyd’s of London. Quite a deal of maritime related material including naval exploration, warfare, piracy and shipwrecks.

Instead we get a rather basic rehashing of the account, and sprinkled with quite a number of errors to boot! The first printing was done in London, by Hutchinson in London, 1932.
