Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Professional and Judicial Character of the Late George Sharswood: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; An Address Delivered Before the Law Association of Philadelphia, November 20, 1883 Gentlemen of the Law Association: In compliance with the request made through your kindness, that I should deliver an address commemorative of the late Chief Justice Sharswood, and of his services as a jurist, I proceed to the discharge of the honorable duty cast upon me. The task is the delineation of the character of a man whose whole adult life was spent, directly or indirectly, in the public service, or for the public good: for thirty-eight years of this long period in a particular department of this service. To give anything like a picture, therefore, of his official life, of necessity demands a presentation in some detail of the acts by which the discharge of his duty to the public was manifested. Mere general eulogy is inadequate for the purpose. We must, if possible, let his actions speak for themselves, and tell us, as I think they will, not only of the ability, but of the thorough devotion brought to the cause which occupied so large a portion of his life. What is really valuable in his career was passed in the public eye and before the gaze of men, of different faculties and training to be sure, but all more or less qualified to appreciate the manner in which his duties were discharged. His private life was serene, simple, quiet, and destitute of striking incident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
