Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of a Lawyer's Lifetime Supreme Court, an associate on the bench with my father, followed by the Strongs Who founded the practice of that distinguished firm - Strong Cad Walader Of New York City, in which for many years there was no Strong, but the name was regarded of sufficient value to be retained. The progeny of these two branches of Strongs ramified far and wide in the field of law, and quite likely a few more judges among them might be unearthed by more or less diligent search, and if the fates had been kinder upon my two nominations for a judgeship by the Republi cans of New York City, I might have added another to the list of Supreme Court Judges. It is a matter of satisfaction in looking over the roll of these worthies of the bench and bar, that in about a century and a half neither the sentence of sus per coll nor of disbarment has been pronounced against any of them.

Download or read book The Papers of Jefferson Davis written by Jefferson Davis and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Being powerless to direct the current, I can only wait to see whither it runs," wrote Jefferson Davis to his wife, Varina, on October 11, 1865, five months after the victorious United States Army took him prisoner. Indeed, in the tumultuous years immediately after the Civil War, Davis found himself more acted upon than active, a dramatic change from his previous twenty years of public service to the United States as a major political figure and then to the Confederacy as its president and commander in chief. Volume 12 of The Papers of Jefferson Davis follows the former president of the Confederacy as he and his family fight to find their place in the world after the Civil War. A federal prisoner, incarcerated in a "living tomb" at Fort Monroe while the government decided whether, where, and by whom he should be tried for treason, Davis was initially allowed to correspond only with his wife and counsel. Released from prison after two hard years, he was not free from legal proceedings until 1869. Stateless, homeless, and without means to support himself and his young family, Davis lived in Canada and then Europe, searching for a new career in a congenial atmosphere. Finally, in November 1869, he settled in Memphis as president of a life insurance company and, for the first time in four years, had the means to build a new life.Throughout this difficult period, Varina Howell Davis demonstrated strength and courage, especially when her husband was in prison. She fought tirelessly for his release and to ensure their children's education and safety. Their letters clearly demonstrate the Davises' love and their dependence on each other. They both worried over the fate of the South and of family members and friends who had suffered during the war. Though disfranchised, Davis remained careful but not totally silent on the subject of politics. Even while in prison, he wrote without regret of his decision to follow Mississippi out of the Union and of his unswerving belief in the constitutionality of state rights and secession. Likewise, he praised all who supported the Confederacy with their blood and who, like himself, had lost everything.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers Hile engaged in preparing these biographical sketches for the press, I have frequently called to remembrance an evening I spent, many years ago, in company with the eminent and well-known jurist, the late Mr. John Austin. I saw him under very favourable circumstances, when none were present but his intimate friends and connections, and he was drawn into a long and deeply interesting talk. On returning home I took notes of what he had said, and as some of his observations had reference to the subject of juris prudence, I have determined to give them here.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of a Limb of the Law The law was originally designed for the furtherance of justice and the preservation of right, or, in other words, to [protect the innocent, and secure punishment to the guilty; but when instances daily occur of the very reverse of these principles prevailing, in the defeat of the honest man's claim, and in the rescinding of com tracts which parties entered into with their eyes open, either through the dexterity of counsel in discovering what is vulgarly termed a flaw, or from non-confon mity with some of those absurd Forms that have been handed down to us from time immemorial, and conse crated by use, an inference may fairly be drawn that the law has been perverted to uses for which it was never intended; and, instead of being a stafl' to the ia nocent and a terror to the guilty, it has thrown its shield around the dishonest and unprincipled portion of the community, for whose correction and punish ment it was intended.

Whereupon St. Peter asked who it was that knocked so boldly. He replied that he was St. Evona the advocate. Away, away! Said St. Peter; here is but one advocate in heaven; here is no room for you lawyers. Oh, but, said St. Evona, I am that honest lawyer who never took fees on both sides, nor pleaded in a bad cause; nor did I ever set my neighbours together by the ears, nor lived by the sins Of the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lawyer's Life on Two Continents In the closing chapters of this book I have told the tale of our part' in the slow development of a back woods county in the far west of Oregon. Here in the winter months the air is filled with the reverberation of the roll of the great Pacific on the not-distant shore. Our neighbors are, as a rule, small farmers, ranchmen, dairymen and stockmen. Among us are many homesteaders, working hard and long on the clearing of the brush and stumps and logs from their rough acres. The aim of these men's lives is to secure the Government title to the home that they are living to create. That all these men should have the will and courage to subscribe their full share in the quota of our country in the first, second, third, and now the fourth Liberty Loans is to me a revelation of clear patriotism. I know the sacrifices so called for. Money is the least of their possessions hardly earned, and apportioned to the family needs with the strictest economy - for the State and County taxes, and the bills at the little country store, must needs be met: and the surplus is pain fully slender.
