Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bench and Bar of the South and Southwest The unpretending volume which is now about to make its appearance in the world of books owes its origin to the following circumstances. The worthy editor of the Southern Law Review, with whom I had not at the time the honor of a personal acquaintance, towards the close of the last winter requested me, by letter, to write something concerning the "Bench and Bar of the South and Southwest," accompanying the application with a statement that he had been induced to open this correspondence with me by seeing, a few months previous, an article in one of the newspapers, over my signature, from which he had derived some entertainment. To this complimentary request - though much occupied with other engagements - I could not refuse my assent. How the first of the articles transmitted by me to St. Louis was followed by a second, third and fourth, and in what manner enough was written by me to fill a book of the present dimensions, will sufficiently appear hereafter. Meanwhile, the light and hastily prepared article which had thus favorably attracted the notice of Mr. Thompson will be here set forth: "In former days, during the earlier years of Mr. Madison´s memorable Administration, that interesting portion of the present State of Louisiana which lies contiguous to the frontiers of the then Mississippi Territory, was far from being in as peaceful and undisturbed condition as it should have been. The Spanish authorities evinced much reluctance to yield up to the Anglo-American race the beauteous and fertile region which Mr. Jefferson had so dexterously acquired at the hands of the First Consul of France, in the year 1803. Collisions of a very serious character were constantly occurring between citizens of the United States on one side of the dividing line, and the earlier Spanish and French settlers on the other.
