My dear Sir:

Thanks for your kind and characteristic letter. Thanks also for your paper on the "Big Trees" which I have read with much interest. You may be interested to know exactly how it grows in Auld Scotia. I give you the most favorable example I am acquainted with in our neighborhood (Ayrshire). One was planted at Laufine (about 400 feet above sea-level) in 1856. It was in 1884, when I measured it, 28 1/2 feet in height, was a close mass of foliage from tip to the ground, was 10 feet 11 inches in …

Dear Mrs Carr,

My Knowledge of S. Cal. is not sufficiently close to enable me to follow you well in your descriptions and the MS.$ is so mixed & disjouinted that I cannot in some places find out where or in what direction you are driving. The pages not being numbered is I suppose the chief cause of the apparent confusion.

Picturesque California And The Region West Of The Rocky Mountains, From Alaska To Mexico., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

On Burrow's Bay. ALASKA. The great wilderness of Alaska, with its lofty mountains laden with glaciers and snow, its deep in-reaching fiords and flowery plains, and its boundless wealth of evergreen forests and islands, and shining, singing waters, offers a glorious field for lovers of fountain beauty, much of which is now within easy reach of the ordinary traveler. The trip by steamer from Puget Sound to the head of the Alexander Archipelago is perfectly enchanting. Leaving scientific interests entirely out of the count, no excursion that I know of may be made into any other portion of the wilds …

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 …

Since we last met my time has been so absorbed in the specialties of orange, lemon and raisin growing that I found but little time to devote to anything else until this "boom" fairly drove me from those pursuits, and since then I have been a complete slave -- yet my own master.
