Honorary Law Degree
« on: Saturday 14 October 17 15:50 BST (UK) »
I am looking into how a Dr James McKnight LL.D (1801-1876), journalist and tenant right campaigner, obtained his honorary law degree. There is a quote from The Irish Times in 1976 saying that "he received the LL.D from Aberdeen", now whether that refers to the Earl of Aberdeen or the University of Aberdeen I am not quite sure. I know he was using LL.D after his name in 1853 due to a court circular from The Times which talked about his meeting with the Home Secretary Viscount Palmerston.

Any ideas?
