Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare as a Lawyer When I was last in London, I picked up a little brochure of 90 pages, at a bookstall, printed in 1690, containing an account of the flourishing province of Pennsylvania, at that time consisting chiefly of the city of Philadelphia, then a town of 2,000 people, and, after speaking of butchers, bakers, brewers, carpenters, bricklayers, masons, jewelers and shoemakers, the author said, "Of doctors and lawyers, I can say nothing, because the place is very peaceful and healthy," and then he added this pious prayer, "Long may we be exempt from the pestiferous drugs of the one, and the abominable loquacity of the other." Now, I am not going to revenge myself on you for that somewhat discriminating remark. I am going to take the plays of Richard II, "Hamlet," and "The Merchant of Venice," and discuss some of their legal phases. We all know that there is quite a literature on the subject of Shakespeare as a lawyer. Lord Campbell, the author of the "Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Lord Chief Justices of England," wrote somewhat on the subject. Mr. Franklin Fiske Heard, of Boston, published a book; Sir Robert Phillimore, a profound student of the civil law and one of the judges of England, also published a book; and Mr. White, late president of the Missouri Bar Association, has published quite a voluminous book.
