Excerpt from A Treatise on American Advocacy To the weary, storm-tossed mariner, seeking the safety of the harbor, nothing is so welcome, so cheering, so encouraging, as a glimpse of the rays of a friendly lighthouse or the warning sounds of the fog-horns. So, also, without stretching extravagantly the simile, there comes to the struggling professional man, buried in his books or overwhelmed, sometimes by the drudgery and the dry details of his practice, a sense of buoyant hope and a thrill of encouragement as his eyes for a moment catch glimpses of the high eminence of his profession and behold, on the summit, men who, like himself, have struggled, even as he is now struggling, to reach those places where they now sport themselves at will, conscious of their power and enjoying the supreme confidence of the people. To reach this eminence is the advocates highest ambition; to assist him to do so is the highest purpose of this volume. The profession of law sustains the most personal relation to the individual of all professional or business relations of life.
