Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Sangamon County Bar
I need hardly say that I shall not venture any comment on those who are still with us, and but little on those who have recently passed away, whose lives are still fresh in our memory.
Let me remark, by way of introduction, that you have a very considerable burden of responsibility to carry if you are to maintain the fine traditions of the Sangamon County Bar.
From the very organization of the County, in 1821, the Bar of this County took a leading place among the lawyers of Illinois indeed, of the whole country - as lawyers and as statesmen. They re?ected credit on Springfield and Sangamon County, at the Bar, on the bench, in the field, in the Legislative Halls of State and Nation, and even in the White House.
It is significant that all three of the Representatives now in the General Assembly from this District are members of the Springfield Bar.
With so many illustrious exemplars from Sangamon a high mark is set for them to emulate. Unlike Macbeth, they have a spur to prick the sides of their intent and urge them on to great achievement in the public interest.
