Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Foibles of the Bar In the preface to "Foibles of the Bench," the first volume of this series, it is stated: "Let no one suppose that this volume is intended by the author to ´get even´ with the judiciary or to exhibit his personal scars and grievances. It is much too small for that purpose. The characters herein delineated are not merely local nor of the present. Judge Knowall, Judge Doall, Judge Wasp, Judge Fearful, Judge Wabbler, Judge Graft, Judge Whiffet, Judge Wind, and many of the other judges referred to, are types which have existed from the beginning of history, in all lands, and they are likely to continue until a higher civilization and a better understanding of the nature of the judicial office shall retire them from the bench. By exhibiting these characters the author has not intended to assail any person living or blacken the memories of any who have departed. He has merely cut the garments and has left to the public the task of placing them upon those who are best fitted to wear them. The life of the judge is often full of perplexing cares, and he needs all the assistance that an enlightened bar can afford him in the discharge of his duty. It is not to his interest nor is it better for the public that he be deprived of such suggestions as occur to those who practice before him.
