Excerpt from Life of Edward Livingston The domestic virtues, the sweetness of temper, the charm of untroubled cheerfulness combined with high ability and culture, endeared Edward Living ston to his family and private friends; for the coun try his life derives its interest from his intimate rela; tion to the great epochs of its recent history. Descended from families which at an early period came over from. Scotland and from Holland, he had from childhood, in the conduct of his father, an ex ample of a wise and deliberate support of liberty against the aggressions of authority, at a time when America held her liberties as colonies, and had to defend them against the king and the parliament of Great Britain.

Excerpt from Life and Services of Edward Livingston: Address of Carleton Hunt, May 9, 1903 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: A great profession advances itself when it honors its illustrious men. It is not easy to think of a more appropriate time than the present annual meeting of the Bar, to place before the Association a narrative of the life and services of Edward Livingston, or a more suitable place for doing so, than this historic chamber of the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana, where, in the gallery about us, his bust (taken from the original work of art in marble by Ball Hughes, which is at Montgomery Place, ) now holds a place of honor. The influence of Mr. Livingston in laying the foundations of this State, and of its jurisprudence, when he was facile princeps at the Bar of New Orleans, was powerful. The very recent celebration in this court room of the one hundredth anniversary of the Cession of Louisiana by France to the United States - a great public transaction which, more than that of anybody else, was the work of Robert R. Livingston, brother of Edward Livingston; the close neighborhood of this ancient building, once the seat of the Spanish Cabildo, to Jackson Square, formerly the Place d' Armes, where Mr. Livingston, standing side by side with General Jackson, addressed in tones that were never forgotten by those who heard him, the serried ranks of the American soldiery, and rallied them in the victorious campaign of 1814-15 to the support of the flag of their country at the battle of New Orleans, are suggestive of associations with his name.

Excerpt from Edward Livingston Youmans: The Man and His Work When Edward was but six months Old, his parents moved to Greenfield, near Saratoga Springs. With a comfortable house and three acres of land, his father kept awagon-shop and smithy. In those days, while it was hard work to wring a subsistence out of the soil or to prosper upon any Of the vocations which rural life permitted, there was doubt less more independence of character and real thriftiness than 1n our time, when cities and tariffs have SO sapped the strength Of the farming country. In the family Of Vincent Youmans, though rigid economy was practised, books were reckoned to a certain extent among the necessaries Of life, and the house was one in which neighbors were fond Of gathering to discuss questions Of politics or theology, social reform or improvements in agriculture. On all such questions Vincent Youmans was apt to have ideas Of his own; he talked with enthusiasm, and was also ready to listen; and he evidently supplied an intellectual stimulus to the whole community. For a boy. Of bright and inquis itive mind, listening to such talk is no mean source Of education. It Often goes much further than the reading of books. From an early age Edward Youmans seems to have appropriated all such means of instruction. He had that insatiable thirst for knowledge which 18 one of God's best gifts to man; for he who is born with this appetite must needs be grievously ill-made 1n other respects if it does not constrain him to lead a happy and useful life.
