Overview

Excerpt from Told Out of Court: Personal Experiences of Members of the Chicago Bench and Bar A notable feature of this book is that all the stories here told are - at least at the time of going to press - those of living, breathing entities, men whose faces are daily familiar on the streets of Chicago and in the courts, whose names are of frequent occurrence in the newspapers, in fact essentially men of today. Each gives his personal experience in his own vein, in many instances the narrative being strongly indicative of the personality of the narrator. The lawyer is the recipient of the troubles of poor humankind. Therefore many of the reminiscences are fraught with domestic tragedy and pathos. But in the main the presentation is a lively legal symposium, illumed by piquant observation and humorous comment, some of it emanating, as will be seen, from rather unexpected quarters. I cordially admit that the work of making the collection abounded in delay and difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
