Excerpt from Eulogy on Chief-Justice ChaseThe simple ofiice, then, which seems to me marked out for one who assumes this deputed service in the name Of the col lege and for the friends Of good learning, is, in so far as the just limits Of time and circumstance will permit, to expose the main features Of this celebrated life, to decipher the man and his nature, to connect the true elements Of his character and the moulding force Of his education with the work he did, with the in¿uence he wielded in life, with the power Of the example which lives after him, and always to have in view, as the most fruitful uses Of the hour, his relations to the men and events Of his times, and, not less, his true place in history among the lawyers, orators, statesmen, magistrates Of the land. Vera non verba is our maxim to-day, truth, not words, must mark the tribute the college pays to the sober dignity and solid worth Of its distinguished son.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
