The "Law Reports", Nathan Abbott

Articles

The period between the years 1860 and 1870 marks an interesting stage in the history of law reporting. Within this period a system of reporting that had existed for upward of three centuries came to an end, and an experiment was begun whereby it was hoped to produce reports not merely in a new way, but reports that were to be materially different in form and substance from those of the previous system. The conception of the enterprise and its successful accomplishment is due to the energy and discretion of one man, whose history of the affair, after twenty years …

It is called the Big King's River Canon, or …

Dear Brown

Your of the [7?] with Mr Muis letter enclosed receive this A.M. I return you his letter as requested. I hardly know what to say to you about it, but I think I can hold it off till Fall if he could pay up all the interest and what has been paid out for taxes and other expense. I think it will be satisfactory that would bring it down to the original principle. I believe without having the figure at hand it was about $6700 so you can see about what …

Dear Mr Johnson-

Your letters & telegram received. I am bending & stretching at the oar in this Kings River article hard as I can. Had a good trip but a little hard. Had to walk in the Yosemite from the Sequoia Park. Rain sleet snow & flooded streams slid 2 miles on dead avalanche. Mule with all our goods went down the river but was caught on a grand [illegible] Robinson grawling & blaming the sun spots for all. etc etc etc But we had a fine rich time for a’ that.

FEATURES OF THE PROPOSE NATIONAL PARK. OSEMITE HE upper Tuolumne Valley is the widest, smoothest, most serenely spacious, and in every way the most delightful summer pleasure park in all the high Sierra. And since it is connected with Yosemite by two good trails, and with the levels of civilization by a broad, well- graded carriage-road that passes between Yosemite and Mount Hoffman, it is also the most accessible. It lies in the heart of the high Sierra at a height of from 8500 to 9000 feet above the level of the sea, at a distance of less than ten …

Dear Louie

The answer to my Victoria telegram was a grand & much needed relief. The letter with the terrible news reached me by the Queen on her trip preceding this one but I did not see it until she sailed, for when yours & the childrens letters were handed me the cabin was full of excited visitors all talking & I ran through them hastily without noticing the dreadful news. As soon as the Queen sailed I took a quick reading of them all & when I discovered Helens condition I varily regretted …
