"graduating with Firsts in classical moderations in 1856 and in literae humaniores in 1858"[edit]

This doesn't really make sense. Mods aren't a subject; they're just the exams at the end of the first stage of lit. hum. that let you progress to the second stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.231.218.22 (talk) 15:54, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They are (or at any rate were) a bit more than just prelims (or Part I as we say at the superior university). Getting firsts in both Mods and Greats counts as a "double first".Paulturtle (talk) 19:48, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Referenda[edit]

In view of recent events in the UK, it might be worth mentioning his views on referenda. He argued that referenda are, as any first year law student could tell you, not legally binding on Parliament - his book was quoted as authority in the initial hearing in the first Gina Miller case. However, my recollection is that he believed that they were perfectly acceptable to settle matters of extreme controversy - the Unionists of his era were at various times proposing a referendum on tariffs/taxes on imported foods.Paulturtle (talk) 02:43, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
