Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Some Reflections on the Relations of Our Profession to Literature THE profession of the law has been considdered inconsistent with and unfavorable to the culture of polite Uterature. In the general opinion, no place is so abhorrent to the muses. Sir Wi Uiam Blackstone on entering strenuously upon the law bade farewell to the muses in verses of pecu Uar sadness and melancholy, and never afterwards uttered a note of song. Longfellow, on leaving college, commenced the study of law in his fathers office, being already a poet soaring in the high reason of his fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him. Happily for his genius, and for American literature, he accepted a professorship within one year from the commencement of his legal studies. Richard H. Dana, son and grandson and father of very eminent lawyers, became disgusted with the law before admission, and gave the rest of his life to letters. Bryant, after writing Thanatopsis, studied law, was admitted, and endeavored to practice it for several years; but his poetic genius and love of letters led him to abandon the profession altogether. Read before the Pennsylvania State Bar Association at its Annual Meeting, June 14, 1901.
