Overview

Excerpt from A Treatise on American Advocacy To the weary, storm-tossed mariner, seeking the safety of the harbor, nothing is so welcome, so cheer ing, so encouraging, as a glimpse of the rays of a friendly lighthouse or the warning sounds of the fog horns. So, also, without stretching extravagantly the simile, there comes to the struggling professional man, buried in his books or overwhelmed, sometimes, by the drudgery and the dry details of his practice, a sense of buoyant hope and a thrill of encourage ment as his eyes for a moment catch glimpses of the high eminences of his profession and behold, on the summit, men who, like himself, have struggled, even as he is now struggling, to reach those places where they now sport themselves at will, conscious of their power and enjoying the supreme confidence of the people. To reach this eminence is the advocate's highest ambition; to assist him to do so is the highest purpose of this volume.
