Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a memoir of Benjammin Robbins Curtis (1809-1874), a judge in the Supreme Court of the United States. The author, George Ticknor Curtis, was Benjamin's older brother. The book provides an in-depth account of Benjamin's life, from his boyhood in Massachusetts to his service as a Supreme Court Justice. The book delves into the judicial and political climate of the 19th century, and discusses Benjamin's involvement in some of the most important cases of his time, including Dred Scott v. Sandford, which ruled that African Americans could not be citizens of the United States. Through the examination of his writings and correspondence, the author provides a nuanced portrait of Benjamin's character, exploring his religious beliefs, his conservative political views, and his deep commitment to the Constitution. This book offers a valuable perspective on the life and work of one of the most influential jurists in American history, and sheds light on the legal and social issues that shaped the nation during the 19th century.
