BOOK REVIEW The Honorable Society of King's Inns, by Daire Hogan is a recently published booklet and was con- ceived and produced primarily to "provide visitors to the Inns with an informative and readable guide". The result is a well researched, organised and pleasantly readable product which should be of interest to anybody curious as to the history of the King's Inns buildings or the legal professions. Comprising some twelve pages of text and particularly well illustrated the guide deals with the planning, financing and construc- tion of the building itself. Of more particular interest to solicitors will be the fact that it covers, as exten- sively as is possible in such a short work, the development of the "Inns" as a professional entity and its his- torical links with the Solicitors pro- fession and with its own professions in England and Northern Ireland. Mr. Hogan has included a biblio- graphy for the benefit of the more serious student and the booklet costing £2.00 may be purchased from the library of The Incorporated Law Society or directly from The King's Inns. • Daire Murphy
