Excerpt from A Paper on the Qualifications of the Adviser and the Advocate: Read Before the Law Academy of Philadelphia, at Their Request, on Thursday Evening, the 4th of April, 1878In every community regulated by law, a sound, Well-informed legal adviser must exert a large measure of usefulness. He may, by judicious advice, prevent much litigation and compose disputes already commenced. He may encourage the failing debtor to stand by his integrity, or demonstrate to a hard creditor how forbearance may be consistent with the safety of his claim. He may prevent hasty dispositions of property to the injury of children. He may plead for the sanctity of the marriage contract. He may enforce the inviolability of trusts. He may direct the course of men en gaged in schemes of religion and benevolence. He may instruct the citizen in his duty to his country, and even assist his rulers in preserving inviolate the priceless gifts of liberty and order.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
