Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Meeting of the Bar of Indiana Upon the Occasion of the Death of Benjamin Harrison: Held at Indianapolis, Saturday, March Sixteen, Nineteen Hundred One, in the Senate Chamber, Upon the Call of the State Bar Association of Indiana the Indianapolis Bar Association It is due rather to the office which I hold and to the fact that I hold it by the appointment of President Harrison. We are assembled as members of the bar associations of the state and city to do honor to the memory of Benjamin Harrison, whose mortal remains lie in state in the corridors below. As lawyers we naturally think of him primarily as a lawyer, but any adequate estimate of his character must be far more comprehensive. A man may be a great lawyer without being a statesman, but no one who is not a great lawyer can take first rank as a statesman. A thoroughly equipped all-round lawyer, possessed of great natural abilities, with faculties trained to ready obedience to a strong will, readily adapts himself to the emergencies of any situation. If for the purpose of a case in which he is employed it becomes necessary to master and appropriate the knowledge of a specialist on a subject, he can do it, and if from the walks of his profession he is called to the service of his country, whether in low or high station, in one department or another, he is better prepared to meet any possible demand upon him than one not a lawyer could be. No better illustration of the lawyers adaptability to meet emergencies of the most delicate and varying character could be presented than Harrison in the office of president. If it became necessary to take into his own hands the portfolio of a secretary he was able to do it, not only without loss, but in notable instances, with great advantage to the public service, - just because he possessed the legal training which his secretary of state, the most brilliant public man of his day and country, lacked. I first met Mr. Harrison, and heard him speak, in the campaign of 1860, at Crawfordsville. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
