Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Eminent American Lawyers, Now Living: With Well Executed Portraits; April and May, 1852; Parts II and III
The inuence of great example and the effects of rivalry are not con fined to the nation or the time of their actual existence. They diffuse themselves over the world, and operate upon unborn millions. Strike out from history its earlier annals, and What becomes of its succeeding ages? It would be like striking out the acquirements and experience of youth, in its destructive consequences upon the hopes and happiness of mature age. It would be to expect the harvest without the seed time, or the ripening summer.
