About the Book

Excerpt from Inaugural Addresses: Delivered by the Professors of Law, in the University of the City of New-York; At the Opening of the Law School of That Institution

Let no lawyer, then, undervalue the usefulness of eloquence. The sun shining in his strength, is more powerful than when veiled by clouds, or dimly seen through fogs or mists. In like manner, reason, herself, derives new force from the lustre of a clear and polished style, and the ornaments of a chaste and appropriate elocution. Whilst, therefore, the learning of his profes sion should hold the first place in the regards of the student, the attainment of a manly eloquence should claim the second if the former is the right hand of the barrister, the latter is the left, and both are necessary to the successful execution of his duties.

But if our profession is thus obliged to repair to the other sciences, and to polite learning and to draw largely from those genial fountains it has often made the most liberal returns. Many of the great jurists of ancient times are enrolled among the classic writers. The revi val of learning in Europe, was, perhaps, as much aided by the works of the civilians who applied themselves, on the re-production of the Pandects, to the study and illus tration of the Roman law, as by any other single cause. In later times, the law has contributed its full share to civilization, science, and letters; some of the Profession have created eras in the history of our race. It was an English lawyer who redeemed the human mind from the trammels of the scholastic philosophy swept from the temples of learning, the cobwebs and rubbish of the dark ages opened to the sciences the book of nature; and paved the way for the brilliant and useful career of the last two centuries in science and the arts. Stimu lated by his suggestions and example, the greatest jurist of continental Europe republished to christian nations their master's forgotten law; taught them that true glory consists, not in the possession or the successful use of military power, but 1n the observance of truth, justice, and humanity, and gave to mankind, a code of Inter national law, the benign effects of which have been felt throughout the world, and are destined to yet higher developement. At a subsequent day, a French advocate, having first scanned the whole history of his race, and concentrated the spirit of all human legislation, proceed ed to unfold the principles of political philosophy, and to establish those axioms in government, from which we, in common with other free countries, are daily de riving so many and such important benefits. Passing over lesser names, and coming down to our own times.
