Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of the Honourable John Read: Of Boston, 1722-1749 The Honorable John Read, a distinguished lawyer and citizen of Boston in provincial days, 1722-1749, "had as great a genius," said President John Adams, "and became as eminent as any man," and he prefaced his remark with this saying of Mr. Reads: "My knowledge of the law cost me seven years hard study in that great chair." It is my purpose in this paper to speak of Mr. Read more particularly as a lawyer and of his career as such, premising that what I have to say must necessarily be fragmentary, for but little relating to his activities has come down to us through the hundred and fifty years since his death. He was a native of Fairfield, Connecticut, born January 29th, 1679, the son of William Read of that town and grandson of William Read, an early settler of Stratford, afterwards of Norwalk; both were men of property and distinction; his mother (Deborah) was a daughter of Nathaniel Baldwin of Fairfield, "ancestor of an eminent and highly honored family." In the year 1692 he entered Harvard College and also his teens, and graduated in 1697, seventh in a class of fourteen.
