Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of the Early Lights of the Litchfield Bar
I joined Judge Reeve's school in the fall ofl7u3, and he was not placed on the bench till the Spring of 1796, so that I saw him at the Bar during nine sessions of the Superior Court, and never failed to listen to him, it I could avoid it, with unqualified love and admiration through every speech he made, to its conclusion. 1 say with love, for no instructor was ever more generally beloved by his pupils, and in. Deed entirely so except it was by those whose love would have been a reproach to the Object of it. As a reasoner, he had no superior within the compass of my observation of forensic performances. I mean true, forcible and honest reasoning. In soph1stry, he was too honest to indulge, and too discerning to suffer it to escape detection in the argument of an adversary.
