Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States, January Term, 1846, Vol. 4Since your last term, the senior Associate Justice of this Court has departed this life. At a meeting of the members of the bar and officers of the Court, held on yesterday, resolutions were adopted expressive of their veneration for the memory of the deceased, and of their sense of the loss which has been sustained by the Court, the profession, and the country. They have done me the honor to impose on me the melancholy task of communi eating their proceedings to the bench.I am but too sensible of the disadvantages under which I labor, in acquitting myself in this presence of the duty thus con dded to me. I had not the advantage of any intimate personal acquaintance with mr. Jus'tlcr. Story. But he was known to me, as to every lover of an enlightened jurisprudence, and to every admirer of learning and purity in our magistracy, through the fame which he had honorably won, and the light which he had shed on all the various subjects of professional learning, in his opinions delivered from that bench, and the works which he pub lished to the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
