Produktbeschreibung
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 but a 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 be 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 supplying 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 for the reason that they are nowhere collected. Due acknowledgment is made to the Social Law Library in Boston and the Massachusetts Historical Society for the privilege of examining the many papers and manuscripts in their possession.
