Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Marshall, Vol. 3 of 3: Life, Character and Judicial Services as Portrayed in the Centenary and Memorial Addresses Dresses and Proceedings Throughout the United, States on Marshall Day, 1901, and in the Classic Orations of Binney, Story, Phelps, Waite and Rawle The frontispiece of the present volume is engraved by Gutekunst of Philadelphia, from what is known as the Inman portrait. The correspondence which resulted in the production of this portrait is given in the proceedings of the Bar Association of Philadelphia in 1831, contained in the Appendix to the present volume. Referring to this portrait Professor Thayer says: "It was at this period, in 1881 and 1833, that Inman´s fine portrait of him, now hanging in the rooms of the Law Association of Philadelphia, was taken for the Bar of that city. A replica is on the walls of the State Library in Richmond, which Marshall himself bought for his only daughter. The portrait is regarded as the best that was ever taken of him in his later life. Certainly it best answers the description of him by an English traveler, who saw him in the spring of 1835, and said that ´the venerable dignity of his appearance would not suffer in comparison with that of the most respected and distinguished-looking peer in the British House of Lords."´ Of this portrait Mr. Justice Mitchell of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania says: "There are many portraits of the Chief Justice, but most of them by inferior artists who failed wholly to catch or portray the spirit and character of the man. The standard and only satisfactory likeness is the one painted by Henry Inman for the Philadelphia Bar, which now hangs in the Library of the Law Association of this city. It gives us the mature man, with all the qualities that his contemporaries ascribe to him - the thin, rather small face, the broad brow with a mass of dark hair growing low down on it, the benignant half smile, and the keen but kindly black eyes that William Wirt said ´possess an irradiating spirit which proclaims the imperial powers of the mind within."´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
