Excerpt from Addresses Historical-Political-SociologicalWhile he pursued his studies at Columbia, he gave lessons to a large class of boys in Spanish and in French, and at times even his evenings were given to the tuition of adults.On leaving college, he took up the study of law in the Office Of Edward Curtis, at that time one of the leaders of the New York Bar, a prominent Whig, the friend and intimate of Webster, and at one time a member of Congress and Collector of the Port.While pursuing his law studies, the young man wrote and translated for the daily and weekly press. At that time the leading sporting journal was Porter's Spirit of the Times, under the editorship of that ripe scholar and genial gentleman William T. Porter. This publica tion united literary skill, polish, wit, and urbanity with its records and discussions of sport, and it was mainly to its columns that the contributions of the young law student found their way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
