Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Recollections of Rufus Choate Rufus Choate enjoys a peculiar and exceptional fame among American lawyers, statesmen, and orators, because of his unlikeness to any of his celebrated contemporaries. One of his friends bluntly remarked, "Webster is like other folks, only there is more of him; but as to Choate, who ever saw or knew his like?" He not only idealized but individualized every thing he touched, and the driest law case, when he was one of the counsel engaged, was converted into a thrilling tragedy or tragicomedy founded on an actual event. He was a poet at the heart of his nature, and instinctively gave a dramatic or epical character to the leading persons concerned in a jury trial.
