Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Political and Economic Doctrines
BY common consent the most notable and one Of the most statesmanlike figures in our whole judicial history is that Of John Marshall. N 0 other name is comparable with his in fame or honor in this singular field Of statesmanlike judicial con trol, a field Of our own marking out and creation, a states manship peculiar to our own annals. Marshall may be said to have created for us the principles Of interpretation that have governed our national development. He created them like a great lawyer, master Of the fundamental conceptions that have enlightened all great lawyers in the administration Of law and have made it seem in their hands a system Of life, not a mere body Of technical rules; he created them also like a great states man who sees his way as clearly without precedent as with it to those renderings Of charter and statute that will vivify their spirit and enlarge their letter without straining a single tissue Of the Vital stuff of which they are made.
