Présentation de l'éditeur
Thursday evening, June loth, 1880, Hon. Isaac N. A rnold, for many years a leading lawyer of the Chicago Bar, delivered, in Fairbank Hall, the first of a series of lectures to be delivered before the Chicago Bar A ssociation, on questions of interest to the profession. Gen. I. N. Stiles, the president of the association, presided. The Lecture Committee, consisting of Robert Hervey, Esq., Henry I. Sheldon, Esq., and Hon. Elliott A nthony, occupied seats upon the platform. Quite a number of the older members of the Bar, who remembered Mr. Arnold in the palmy days of the long ago, were present. It was noticeable that at this, the first meeting of the Association at which women were admitted, they outnumbered the men in attendance. Gen. Stiles, in introducing Mr. A rnold, paid a deserved tribute to Samuel W. Fuller, one of the ablest, fairest, and best lawyers that ever practised at this Bar. Mr. Stiles said: The lecture this evening is one of a series to be delivered before the Bar Association, upon topics of special interest to lawyers. I am sure this evenings lecture will be of interest also to others. The lecturer is of the old school of Chicago lawyers, and has achieved distinction, not only at the Bar, but in the halls of legislation, and of late in the walks of literature. Some years since, a distinguished Chicago lawyer, now dead, after an eight days struggle in a closely-contested and important cause, on hearing the verdict of the jury read which was against him rose from his seat, and in his grand, chivalrous way, said to his opponents: I congratulate you on your victory it was fairly won. Had the victory been for him, it would have been fairly won also; he won his in no other way.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
