Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Services of Edward Livingston: Address of Carleton Hunt, May 9, 1903 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: A great profession advances itself when it honors its illustrious men. It is not easy to think of a more appropriate time than the present annual meeting of the Bar, to place before the Association a narrative of the life and services of Edward Livingston, or a more suitable place for doing so, than this historic chamber of the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, where, in the gallery about us, his bust (taken from the original work of art in marble by Ball Hughes, which is at Montgomery Place,) now holds a place of honor. The influence of Mr. Livingston in laying the foundations of this State, and of its jurisprudence, when he was facile princeps at the Bar of New Orleans, was powerful. The very recent celebration in this court room of the one hundredth anniversary of the Cession of Louisiana by France to the United States - a great public transaction which, more than that of anybody else, was the work of Robert R. Livingston, brother of Edward Livingston; the close neighborhood of this ancient building, once the seat of the Spanish Cabildo, to Jackson Square, formerly the Place d´ Armes, where Mr. Livingston, standing side by side with General Jackson, addressed in tones that were never forgotten by those who heard him, the serried ranks of the American soldiery, and rallied them in the victorious campaign of 1814-15 to the support of the flag of their country at the battle of New Orleans, are suggestive of associations with his name.
