Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Bench and the Bar of Central Illinois: A Lecture Read Before the Chicago Bar Association, Fairbank Hall, Wednesday Evening, January 12, 1881 On another occasion, in 1838, I stopped at a cabin in Logan County, near the site where the magnificent institution for the feeble-minded, has recently been erected by the State. The woman complained very much because the population was becoming too dense. She said her family would be compelled to remove further west, where they would not be troubled by so many neighbors. In the morning, I discovered one house in sight, and no more, and in the direction of Springfield it was about eight miles to the nearest farm.

Recollections of the Bench and Bar of Central Illinois; III. The Lawyer as a Pioneer The name of Baker has been mentioned. Let me add a few words in regard to him. An anecdote, incredible, but yet indic ative of his intense ambition and therefore characteristic, has been often told around the mess-table of the early circuit-riders and judges of Central Illinois. It is said that soon after he settled in Springfield, a friend found him seated on a fallen tree in a grove near that place, weeping very bitterly. On being pressed to tell the cause of his grief, he said, I have been reading the Constitution of the United States, and I find a provision in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Bench and Bar of Illinois Some years ago when in social conversation with two gentlemen of the Bar, I was relating some professional incidents which had occurred many years before, when one of them suggested that it would be interesting to the profession of the present day if I would note down, events which had occurred in the early times and lay them before the public; I promised to do so, and the result was a series of articles published in the Chicago Legal News. Upon their publication I received many letters from gentlemen of the Bar in various parts of the State, expressing the hope that the articles might be republished in book form. I finally revised these articles and prepared them for the press, with several new papers which have not been previously published, and placed them in the hands of the printer, thinking that many incidents and some peculiarities of former times might be thus perpetuated, which may in still later times be considered worth remembering. I do this the more readily as I am probably the only man now living who can speak from personal observations and recollections of events of fifty years and more ago. In the Appendix I have given an address delivered before the State Bar Association on the 24th of January last, and another given before the Chicago Bar Association February 11, 1893, in which will be found some statements germane to the subject, not previously given.
