Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address of Benjamin F. Butler, to the Judges of the Circuit Court of the United States: On the Presentation of the Resolutions of the Bar of That Court, as a Tribute to the Memory of Caleb Cushing
I pass over Mr. Cushing's distinguished services to the Government in connection with the Washington treaty, the most distinguished part which he took before the great tri bunal of arbitration at Geneva, where he alone Of all the counsel employed by both nations could speak to that august body in a language which all the judges could understand and fully comprehend; for these are all matters of written and undisputed history, and my aim is only to set history right so far as I know it, so that his loyalty to his country may more distinctly appear, and that his character may be fully dis closed, and that all who choose so to do may know them.
