The Provincial Courts of New Jersey: With Sketches of the Bench and Bar; A Discourse, Read Before the New Jersey Historical Society (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Provincial Courts of New Jersey: With Sketches of the Bench and Bar; A Discourse, Read Before the New Jersey Historical SocietyThe following Paper was prepared at the request of the Executive Committee of the New Jersey Historical Society. A portion of it was read at the annual meeting in Trenton, on the twentieth of January, 1848, and the residue at a meeting in Newark, on the twenty-fifth of May following. It was written without the slightest view to its being published, at least in its present form. While it was hoped, that it would not be altogether without value in the eyes of my professional brethren, to whom it was more particularly addressed, it was not supposed that the subject was one in which the public at large could be made to take much interest. The Society, however, having requested a copy for publication, I have not felt myself at liberty to withhold it.My object has been, not so much to bring together what is already known, with regard to our Courts, and the character of those who have figured on the Bench and at the Bar, as to rescue from the past such scattered memorials of them as were in danger of perishing for ever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
