Excerpt from Samuel Freeman Miller: Justice of the Supreme Court of the United StatesWashington is often spoken of as the Founder, and Lincoln as the Savior of our Country. Great as their achievements are they did not accomplish their patriotic service alone. It is right to recall those who stood at their side in places almost as burdensome and responsible and whose faithful and able service in offices less con spicuous, made the founding and saving of the Country possible.The two periods which Washington and Lincoln typify required not merely able executives, but great, and I may almost say, creative Judges, for, to use the words of Chief Justice Fuller: Great prob lems crowded for solution. One was the time of the adoption and first operation of our highly novel Constitution, and the other the time of the adoption and first operation of its great and highly novel Amendments. Jurists of capacity were needed and they were not wanting in either period to the Bench or the Bar. Without doubt or question, Chief Justice Marshall stands as the great judi cial figure of the earlier age, though he came to the Bench only when Washington had been a little more than a year in his tomb at Mt. Vernon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.comThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
