Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arguments and Speeches of William Maxwell Evarts, Vol. 1 of 3 It is related of John Bright that when consulted about his biography he would turn the subject aside by saying, "My life is in my speeches." That his life was in his speeches may be said with much truth of Mr. Evarts. His position before the public of his day was, to be sure, in no sense upon a parallel with that of the great tribune of the English people, and the traditional environment, the training and education of the two men were wholly dissimilar. But the chief reminders of Mr. Evarts to-day are his speeches. Through them can best be recalled the man, whether they were the arguments of the advocate, or political speeches, or whether they appear in the form of elaborate orations at important commemorations, or in the lighter vein of occasional addresses. At the very outset of his career Mr. Evarts leaped, at one bound, into prominence as an advocate in the profession in which his acknowledged supremacy formed, perhaps, the chief title to his fame. Just past twenty-four years old, the duty was by his senior associates assigned to him, as junior counsel for the defendant, of opening to the jury the case of the defense in the trial of the notorious forger, Monroe Edwards. The opportunities offered in this cause celèbre for a young man to win his spurs were unusual but manifest. That so important a part in the trial was given him by his elder brethren at the bar, chief among whom was Senator Crittenden of Kentucky, speaks well for the way in which he had acquitted himself in the earlier preparation and conduct of the case, a great part of which had fallen upon his shoulders.
