Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inaugural Address of Cortlandt Parker, Esq., President of the Newark Bar and Law Library Association: Delivered Thursday Evening, June 4th, 1874 Gentlemen: I enter with great satisfaction and with grateful acknowledgment of the honor I have received, upon the duties of President of the Newark Bar and Law Library Association. It is an institution I have long desired to sec established. Not alone because of the need among us of a public Law Library, though if that were its only purpose, it would claim the earnest support of us all; but because of those other ends to which such a library is but a single means, " the maintenance of the honor and dignity of the profession of the law, the cultivation of social intercourse among its members, and the increase of its usefulness in promoting due administration of justice." It can hardly be, gentlemen, that there should be difference of opinion among us as to the dignity of the profession to which we belong. I will not say that it is as noble a calling as that which seeks to save men´s souls, and to raise mortality from its groveling wretchedness to that immortality of purity and happiness for which its Maker has formed and fitted it. Nor, perhaps, can it be fairly argued that it is as necessary to mankind as that other profession which even savages must possess, which cares for the health of the body and expends its energies in prolonging physical life. And yet what is life without the government of law? How can there be society without it? How happiness without society? What satisfaction in society without civilization? What in civilization without freedom ? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
