Dear Old Friend

I was delighted to receive your long newsy letter the other day from Circle City. What an interesting eventful life you have led & how fine a thing it would be had you kept a diary as fully & minute as Boswells. You should begin now jotting down at least a few lines every night. It would be interesting not only to your friends but to most everybody & even to yourself. I'm sorry you did not even keep a list of your writings. You have been the …

Mr John Muir,

Dear Sir;

Our pupils read of the Muir Glacier in their Geographies and in the newspapers, and when they are told that John Muir lives near us they gaze in astonishment, especially when he is pointed out to them while he is passing by. Now, for the sake of the rising generation, I ask you this favor, will you, some Friday afternoon, give the school (the Grammar Grades) a talk on Alaska, or the Yosemite? Of course, we cannot pay you for your trouble--indeed, a talk like that to our grammar pupils could …

My dear Mr. Muir:

I have just finished p. 381 of your delightful volume, and can therefore now thank you for it with a full heart. I do not know when I have read anything that I have enjoyed more. It has brought California back to my memory with redoubled interest, and with more than redoubled knowledge. Above all It has recalled half-forgotten scientific facts, geology, geography and vegetation that I used to see when in California, and which I have often tried to formulate in vain. Most especially this refers to glacial features …

My dear Mr. Muir:

I have just received your most kind presents, and I hasten to tell you how very much I and my son value it. Mrs. Lunam a few weeks ago let us have a short sight of her copy with which we were deeply interested, and which we thoroughly enjoyed. Both John and I have a taste for natural history and I, in my small way, have a turn for geology, while both of us are very fond of plants. So you can guess we highly appreciate the simpler parts of your delightful …

My dear Mr. Muir:

I telegraphed you this morning that 1 would not be able to go with you to Mt. Diablo - at least for the present. I have to go south at once, unexpectedly, for a few days. I greatly regret the necessity of pulling out of this little visit to Professor Davidson. I notified Kerr and Prof. Christie, and this morning I understood that they were going anyway, but Kerr has just telegraphed me that he can not go after all. I suppose he …

My dear Mr Johnson -

I have just written to our congressmen, every mothers son of them on the copyright bill & marvel greatly at my termerity in thus plunging recklessly into this new field of literature. I forward corrected proof of the Yo. article today. When you telegraphed for a description of the Tuolumne region I was busy on an independent article on the big Canon none of which was available as an addition to the Yo article.

John Muir's Protest against the Wantonness of the Sheep-Herder and Lumberman- Value of the Forests. The forests growing on the western slope of the Sierra are by far the most destructible of the natural wealth of California, but they are being rapidly and ruthlessly destroyed, as if, like a larger kind of pernicious weeds, every available means at the command of a far-seeing, enterprising people should be set in motion to eradicate them. Our gold and silver stored in the rocks may all …

John Muir.

Martinez, Cal

Friend and whilom fellow-climber:

Your most cordially welcome, genial and eloquent letter came to hand a few days since. I was “right down” glad to hear from you, and hope you will favor me more than this once in the way of correspondence. I was sincerely glad, too, to hear something about our companion du voyage cap a mountain, Keith, who, it appears from your letter, has labored arduously with brush and canvas to give further fame to our grand old Rainier.

Law Schools And Legal Education, Henry W. Rogers Jan 1888

Law Schools And Legal Education, Henry W. Rogers

Articles

In the February number of the AMERICAN LAW REGISTER, there appeared an interesting article from the pen of Mr. Henry Budd, discussing the relation of law schools to legal education. The motive which inspired the writing of the article, was a commendable one, and the desire of the writer to have a higher standard established, governing admissions to the bar, will be quite generally concurred in. No one could read the article in question, however, without readily perceiving that the law schools of the United States were considered to be, in large measure, responsible for the admission to the bar …

Old as the letter is & great as the number of the days & nights that have passed since your love was written, it yet seems as if I had once more been up stairs & hold you & Wanda in my arms.

So can not see how you can be happy so far away from human care & sympathy, except the little fellow must always be singing “Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?” All you say of him is a sermon on that text. I must tell you, if only to make you smile, how much sympathy I wasted on you. Somehow I thought you had no friends nor companions but glaciers & icebergs & birds & bears & ever-greens, & that you had no mother to wear out her anxious heart about you, & all that, …
