Mississippi, together with an exposition of the peculiar traits of character by which they rose to eminence. It is not assumed, however, that this work comprises the mention of every good man. or good lawyer of local repute, but only of such as, owing to their varied pre-eminent qualities, are justly entitled to the fee of eminence. There were many, very many, of the former class whose characters are fully worthy of the most meritorious mention, and even a compendium of whose deserts would fill the pages of many volumes ;but it has been the design of the author to embrace only those whose professional careers were characterized by transcendent genius, and which gave marked dignity and elevation to Mississippi jurisprudence. If he has omitted any of this class, the oversight was due to a lack of information respecting their characteristics, and their friends must take upon themselves, in part, the responsibility, if such there be, of withholding intimations which would have led to a thoi ough inquiry. The lives of lawyers are generally monotonous, and void of noticeable event. They leave, as a general thing, but little record of their merits, and a work devoted exclusively to professional.
