While talking of Greek art I happened to mention Praxiteles as in the fifth or^'sixth century B. C. Coleridge corrected me, but he, being for the moment doubtful, I suggested that I might possibly be right. Before, how- ever, we had looked it up in any book of reference or history, we began to compare historical facts, and I soon saw that he was right and that I for a moment had con- fused the date of Praxiteles with that of Phidias. He told me that his father, when fresh from Oxford, once corr...ected a Chief Justice. His father turned out to be right and the Chief Justice afterwards said, "You happen to have been right in this case, but as a rule I should advise you not to dispute a Chief Justice. " Lord Coleridge said, while alone with me, that he had been very doubtful about accepting the peerage, but that Gladstone urged it very strongly on the ground that it would be a benefit to the bar in general if its leaders should become titled. It would spur them up to their best efforts. He, Coleridge, also said that the Queen had asked him no less than three times to accept.
