What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Brougham's success at the bar is prodigious; much more rapid and extensive than that of any barrister since Erskine's starting." in the context of "Francis Horner to J. A. Murray (8 December 1812), quoted in Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Horner, M.P., Vol. II, ed. Leonard Horner (1843), p. 136" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
