Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bench and Bar of New-York: Containing Biographical Sketches of Eminent Judges, and Lawyers of the New-York Bar, Incidents of the Important Trials in Which They Were Engaged, and Anecdotes Connected With Their Professional, Political and Judicial Career
While one purpose Of my toil in writing it was, to gather and record the fast scattering reminiscences Of the men who have attained distinction at the Bar and on the Bench of our State, ere they should, as soon they would, be forever lost - a labor undertaken in part for their own sakes, and from sacred regard to their memories - it has also been an object, and by no means a minor one, to present their exam ple to those already entered, or hereafter to enter, upon that profession which we love, and to accomplish eminence in which, calls for high qualities, physical, intellectual and moral.
It has been my hope that I might thus, in my day and generation, render a service to my own profession; hold aloft the standard; depict the struggles and vicissitudes through which our great advocates have been compelled to. Force their way; illustrate their studies, habits and powers; show the value of steady perseverance; encourage the timid, though oft beaten back, never to despair; and stimulate the industry, honor, and laudable ambition of those who take upon themselves the emblems Of our order.
To you, therefore, young lawyers of New York, have I consecrated the time and labors necessary to collect and twine together the materials of this book; and trust the offering may bear fruit, many-fold, in your own achieve ments and renown.
