Law Abridgment: Closing Address Delivered Before The Graduating Law Class Of The University Of Michigan, March 20, 1879., James V. Campbell

Books

We hear on all sides complaints of the increasing mass of printed Reports and text-books, which it is said the lawyer must find some means of mastering, but which no life is long enough to read. The young lawyer, as he scans the dreary catalogues, and wonders what Croesus can buy or what brain can learn all this lore, is sorely puzzled what books to choose from the thousands that have found printers. And when a few years of practice have shown him how small a share of these books have done any good in the world, he is forced …

Dear Mr Bidwell,

Your letter of the 9th [ alt?] is received. I see by Sallies note that our estimate of Prof G’[illegible] was a pretty correct one, But I will not make any further use of Gray’s exposure of him. For however peruicious & deplorable the effects of unfaithful teaching, it is best opposed & controverted by a patient presentation of the truth, rather than by pursuing & giving battle to individual [ humbeys?]. Life is too short to waste in hunting such poor game, the …

SNOW-STORM ON MOUNT SHASTA. 521 SNOW-STORM ON MOUNT SHASTA.

1875.] WILD WOOL. 361 WILD WOOL. MORAL improvers have calls to preach. I have a friend who has a call to plow, and woe to the daisy sod or azalea thicket that falls under the savage redemption of his keen steel shares. Not content with the so-called subjugation of every terrestrial bog, rock, and moor-land, he would fain discover some method of reclamation applicable to the ocean and the sky, that in due calendar time they might be made to bud and blossom as the rose. Our efforts are of no avail when we seek to turn his attention to …
