Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical History of Massachusetts, Vol. 7: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State; With Opening Chapters on the Bench and Bar of Massachusetts During the colonial period the administration of justice was entrusted at first wholly and even later almost entirely to men of weight and standing in the community and not to trained lawyers. But the Constitution adopted in 1780, and with some amendments still in force, declared the necessity of providing for every subject'a certain remedy by law for all injuries or wrongs by an impartial administration of justice, and of having the independence of the justices secured from influence by any other department of the gov ernment. This Constitution also, besides recognizing the Supreme Judicial Court, granted to the General Court (or Legislature) full power to erect and constitute j udicatories and courts of record or other courts. Under this power the Legislature in 1782, by chapter 9 of the Acts of that year, established the Supreme Judicial Court, with a chief justice and four justices. This court, with some changes from time to time in its number and in the nature and extent of its jurisdiction, has continued to be the highest court of justice in our system and the tribunal of last resort in the Commonwealth for the determination of all questions of law. Its decisions have been pub lished regularly and in increasing amount since September, 1804, and now constitute a body of law by which, more perhaps than by any other single instrumentality, the rights and obligations of all parties are determined and regulated. The past chief and associate justices of this court have so borne themselves in their responsible positions and have done their work with such learning and ability that the Commonwealth may well be proud alike of the excellent service which they have rendered and of the high reputation which they have acquired for themselves and the State which they served. Their successors are bound to exert themselves to the utmost of their powers to keep up so far as may be to the standard which has been thus set.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical History of Massachusetts, Vol. 6: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State For many years, however, and for long and successive generations, the peculiar pride of Massachusetts was her pulpit. The colony having been settled with a spiritual purpose and by people who were driven from their homes by reason of their religious scruples, the government assumed the form, at first, Of a practical theocracy. Its ministers in many instances were its magistrates, and what was spoken in the pulpit was Often put into an order of the court. None but church members, in colonial times, were allowed to vote, and the churches were the literal meeting-houses of the people, - the only places, indeed, where for many years the people came together as a body. There they worshiped upon Sunday and there they voted upon week days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical History of Massachusetts, Vol. 1: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State This ignorance was due not simply to the condescension which Mr. Lowell observes with which to his time all Europe regarded all America. It was the personal ignorance in each continent of the inhabitants of the other. Illustrations of this ignorance may be found even in Lord Chatham's well-known speech in which he re views the American State Papers and in Edmund Burke's acknowl edged surprise when he studied the resources Of New England. It is pathetic, indeed, to read in the diaries of the loyalists who took up their homes in London while the Revolution went on, that the men of England regarded them with a sort of pity, only too plainly expressed, and wondered what was their business in England. Such considerations, although briefly stated, are enough to account for the pride with which Massachusetts men look back on their own history. They have been encouraged in their pride in the history of the Commonwealth by thoughtful men in all parts of the world. Carlyle said truly that Democracy announced on Bunker Hill that she is born and will envelope the whole world. And in one way and another, that statement is assented to by the modern students of history. I was in London in 1859, when we heard the news of John Brown's attack on Harper's Ferry. At that time the London Times was the most constant enemy of lib eral institutions; and yet that journal, in a leading editorial said, the sympathy of the people of Massachusetts has a title to the consideration of the world. NO community of which we have any knowledge approaches in enlightenment or morality to the inhab itants of this part of the Union.
