Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biography of the Bar of Orleans County, Vermont "Biography is history teaching by example. It is the basis of all historical structures. The chronicles of the nations are composed of the sayings and doings of their men and women. These make up the sum of history." Since the year 1800 a county court has been held in Orleans county, and persons year after year have been admitted to practice as attorneys in this court, have been admitted to its bar. A record of such admissions in most instances has been kept by the county clerk; but this number is small compared with those admitted elsewhere who have resided and practiced law here. Of this large number there was no correct record, and in a very few years the scattered links of history could not have been gathered up sufficient to have written the chronicles of the bar of Orleans county. Even now, with the most careful and diligent research, a few are lacking. The aim of the author has been to give a more or less extended biography of every lawyer in regular standing ever in this county; also a few pioneers of the profession, who in the early days made the bar of North-eastern Vermont famous. If in this I have not been entirely successful, it may be I have succeeded in collecting and preserving data which at some future day may serve as a nucleus for a history worthy of this bar. All facts and figures have been gathered from the most reliable sources, and writers secured who were possessed of an intimate and extensive knowledge of the life and character of their subjects. The earnest endeavor of all has been to fairly and faithfully represent the legal fraternity. I have been assisted in preparing the material for this volume by many of the profession and others, who have contributed articles and rendered efficient aid in other ways. I have also received valuable information from various historical and biographical works. To all these I have intended to give proper acknowledgment under individual biographies, but I desire here to tender them my sincere thanks for their very acceptable help.
