Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Bench and Bar of the Circuit Court of the United States, District of Massachusetts, Upon the Decease of Hon. Thomas Leverett Nelson Thomas Leverett Nelson was born in Haverhill, N. H., March 4, 1827. He died in Worcester, Mass., November 21, 1897. His father, John Nelson, was a lawyer, of Haverhill, N.H., where, in addition to his country practice, he carried on an extensive farm. Judge Nelson´s mother was a Miss Leverett, of Windsor, Vt., a descendant of the royal Governor Leverett, of Massachusetts. During a boyhood spent among the simple delights and the beauties of a New Hampshire farm, Judge Nelson acquired that love of nature which was his until his death. There he learned of the stars and their courses, of the birds and their songs, of the formation of the earth and of her hills and her valleys, and of the ways of nature in her secret places. After preparing for college in Meriden, N. H., and spending two years at Dartmouth College, Judge Nelson went to the University of Vermont, at Burlington, from which he was graduated in 1846. From the University of Vermont he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1879. For five years after his graduation, Judge Nelson was engaged in civil engineering, a profession for which his knowledge of the ways of nature peculiarly fitted him. Deprived of the use of one of his legs for several months by a serious accident, Judge Nelson undertook the study of law with that same patience and quiet determination which he showed in his later days, when, although fatally ill, he arose, as it were, from the dead and tried, with some degree of success, to resume his judicial duties. Finishing his law studies with the Hon. Francis H. Dewey at Worcester, Judge Nelson was admitted to the bar of the Massachusetts Courts at Worcester in 1855.
