Excerpt from The Bench and Bar of Mississippi This work treats only of the dead, with the exception of the last chapter, which is devoted to observations upon the characters of eminent living lawyers who are more than three score and ten years of age; and in its preparation the author has sought to present accurate sketches of the distinguished jurists and lawyers who have graced the jurisprudence of Mississippi, together with an exposition of the peculiar traits of character by which they rose to eminence. It is not assumed, however, that this work comprises the mention of every good man or good lawyer of local repute, but only of such as, owing to their varied pre-eminent qualities, are justly entitled to the fee of eminence. There were many, very many, of the former class whose characters are fully worthy of the most meritorious mention, and even a compendium of whose deserts would fill the pages of many volumes; but it has been the design of the author to embrace only those whose professional careers were characterized by transcendent genius, and which gave marked dignity and elevation to Mississippi jurisprudence. If he has omitted any of this class, the oversight was due to a lack of information respecting their characteristics, and their friends must take upon themselves, in part, the responsibility, if such there be, of withholding intimations which would have led to a thorough inquiry. The lives of lawyers are generally monotonous, and void of noticeable event. They leave, as a general thing, but little record of their merits, and a work devoted exclusively to professional incidents must depend largely upon oral evidence and traditional testimony; and the only question, in those cases, is, to whom did the concurrence of the bar and the voice of the people accord the meed of eminence?

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the Mississippi State Bar: Held at Jackson, Mississippi, June 26-28, 1940 At the annual meeting of the Bar Association held in Jackson, Mississippi, there were present some three hundred and forty eight mem bers. The Secretary reports that we have some fifteen hundred active members of the Association. This would indicate either that the law business is so good that the lawyer can not take the time off to attend the annual meeting, or that business is so bad that he can not raise the money to go, or that he is not interested in the problems of his fellow lawyers, or some other explanation. In any event the problems that you have as a lawyer are the problems that we propose to have as a Bar Association. The matter of fees that are allowed by the courts are in many instances too low; this should have attention. Most lawyers are too busy, going from one case to another, to keep up with Federal Regulations and State Departmental Regulations. These regulations have the force and effect of laws. At the meeting of the Commissioners held in Jackson, they authorized and requested your President to assist them in holding institutes in each Of the Court Districts pf the state. We propose to hold one or more, depending on the local bars. The meetings will be something along this line: The President of the local association along with your Commissioners and a committee will select the subject you want discussed, probably two subjects. Q We will attempt to get the Speakers for you. We will get lawyers from the State Bar, they will probably come from some other district. The State Secre tary will invite all of the members in your district to this meeting. She will give them an outline of the meeting, the names of the speaker and some of the authorities he will use. In brief a general outline would be to arrange a schedule along the following lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
