See the account of his life in the entry for his father the serjeant-at-law John Humffreys Parry (1816-1880) in the Oxford DNB. Signed 'faithfully yours / Edward Parry / April . 1930', across the headline of a 22 x 21 cm. cutting of a newspaper article, with text in three columns, the headline reading: 'BREACH OF PROMISE / THE LAW, THE LADY, AND SEX EQUALITY/ By His Honour SIR EDWARD PARRY'. In good condition, on browning high-acidity paper. Folded once and with one crease. Begins: 'Marriage is not the gilt-edged security that it was. Its stock is not rising. Anything therefore that restrains the young man's fancy from making a contract of marriage should be removed, and it seems doubtful whether the law relating to breach of promise to marry might not be made less stringent.' Suggests towards the end, presumably lightheartedly: 'It would be a practical scheme if each party to an engagement were bound to wear a Government ring with a registered number, which wouold prove the engagement in every Court of Justice.'.
