Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Judicial Labors of Chief-Justice Shaw It remains for us to give some estimate of his judicial life and labors. In this estimate we cannot omit the element of time. He went upon the bench in his fiftieth year, and then worked, through the lifetime of a generation, with strength and vigor to the last. Some of his later judgments are, indeed, his best; are remarkable for their freshness, for the sagacity and grasp with which he apprehended the new exigencies of society and 'business, and applied and adapted the old rules of law to them. A striking and beautiful illustration may be found in the case of the Commonwealth v. Temple, 14 Gray, 69. This. Opinion contains a thorough consideration of the rights of travellers to the use of the highways, as affected and modified by the introduction and use of street railways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lemuel Shaw: Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, 1830-1860 IT is doubtful if the country has ever seen a more brilliant group of lawyers than was found in Boston during the first half of the last century. None butfa man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained. His speeches are somewhat fully referred to f or the reason that they are nowhere collected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Roger Brooke Taney: Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court The presence of four men in Maryland secured in that State the success of the sympathizers with the Union in 1861. Three of these men were politicians and lawyers: John Pendleton Kennedy, Reverdy Johnson, and Henry Winter Davis. The fourth was a jurist - Roger Brooke Taney. The life of Kennedy was written by Tuckerman and needs not to be written again. Those of Johnson and Davis it has been the privilege of the author of this work to write. The life of Taney has been written by Samuel Tyler and was published in 1872. That portly volume is invaluable to every student of Taney's life, both because the author was a friend of the chief justice and gathered information which would otherwise have been lost and because the book contains a very valuable autobiography of Taney's early years. Yet the book was styled by a contemporary reviewer, as a "panegyric rather than a biography," was written uncritically, is nearly fifty years old, did not include the information now to be gained from Taney's correspondence with President Jackson, and involved no full discussion of the subject's place as a jurist. For these reasons, it seemed worth while to have this book written - the life of a Border State Federalist, written by one who was brought up in the town where Taney practiced law for nearly a quarter of a century, and who has lived for the whole of his adult life in the city which was Taney's residence during his judicial career.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Professional and Judicial Character of the Late George Sharswood: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; An Address Delivered Before the Law Association of Philadelphia, November 20, 1883 Gentlemen of the Law Association: In compliance with the request made through your kindness, that I should deliver an address commemorative of the late Chief Justice Sharswood, and of his services as a jurist, I proceed to the discharge of the honorable duty cast upon me. The task is the delineation of the character of a man whose whole adult life was spent, directly or indirectly, in the public service, or for the public good: for thirty-eight years of this long period in a particular department of this service. To give anything like a picture, therefore, of his official life, of necessity demands a presentation in some detail of the acts by which the discharge of his duty to the public was manifested. Mere general eulogy is inadequate for the purpose. We must, if possible, let his actions speak for themselves, and tell us, as I think they will, not only of the ability, but of the thorough devotion brought to the cause which occupied so large a portion of his life. What is really valuable in his career was passed in the public eye and before the gaze of men, of different faculties and training to be sure, but all more or less qualified to appreciate the manner in which his duties were discharged. His private life was serene, simple, quiet, and destitute of striking incident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judge Longstreet: A Life Sketch When, at the request of the surviving members of the immediate family of the late Judge A. B. Longstreet, I consented to undertake the preparation of a memoir of that rare and fascinating genius, I did not know whether I would make of it a monograph or a volume. Accessible material was scant. His contemporaries were nearly all dead. Here and there were persons still laughing over his "Georgia Scenes," but the man was fast becoming a tradition. I began the work with the purpose to let it take its own shape, using the material that came into my hands as Aaron used the golden earrings of the Israelites cast by him into the furnace. The outcome is not a golden calf, but this book. To the Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of the United States Supreme Court; Chancellor Edward Mayes, of the University of Mississippi; the Rev. Walter R. Branham, the Rev. Dr. Weyman H. Potter, the Rev. John W. Burke, lion. Walter B. Hill, and the Rev. Dr. J. T. Wightman I hereby tender sincere thanks for the help they have given me. And to the house of Harper & Brothers, New York, the original publishers of the "Georgia Scenes," I would also express my thanks for special courtesies gracefully rendered.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unveiling of the Statue of Chief Justice Marshall, at Washington, May 10th, 1884 John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States, has been dead for nearly half a century, and if it be asked why at this late day we have come together to do tardy justice to his memory and unveil this statue in his honour, the answer may be given in a few words. The history dates from his death. He had held his last Court, and had come Northward to seek medical aid in the city of Philadelphia, and there, on the 6th of July, 1835, he died. While tributes of respect for the man and of grief for the national loss were paid throughout the country, it was felt by the Bar of the city where he died that a lasting monument should be erected to his memory in the capital of the nation. To this end subscriptions, limited in amount, were asked. About half came from the Bar of Philadelphia, and of the rest, the largest contribution was from the city of Richmond, but all told, the sum was utterly insufficient. What money there was, was invested by trustees as "The Marshall Memorial Fund," and then the matter seemed to pass out of men's minds. Nearly fifty years went on. Another generation and still another came into the world, till lately, on the death of the survivor of the trustees, himself an old man, the late Peter McCall, the almost-forgotten fund was found to have been increased, by honest stewardship, seven fold. Of the original subscribers but six were known to be alive, and upon their application trustees were appointed to apply the fund to its original purpose.
