Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thirty Years on the Bench
He espoused frequent public causes and never feared to vigorously oppose what he deemed to be wrong. He promoted many good. Works, interested himself in the affairs of the church; he gave consider able attention to the-poor, to whom he ministered with tender and sympathetic heart. He could have died a very wealthy man had he not believed that life was best lived by doing good for others. He was a philos opher and never forsook the religion of his parents.
He was a man of great and wonderful rapid mental processes. He had a most remarkable memory and could sit for weeks in the trial of a cause, never take a note of the testimony, and deliver a charge occupying the space of a day or two without misquoting a single witness or becoming the least confused upon the small est detail involved in any fact.
He was greatly beloved by the lawyers who prae ticed in his court and by the people who kept him upon the bench from the time they so wisely placed him there until his death.
