Leonard Bacon on the other;
and right opposite at the table was Rev. Dr. Atwater, then
I believe of Princeton, but formerly Mr. Sherman's pastor in
Fairfield. President Woolsey said that Roger Minott Sherman
came nearer his conception of Cicero than any other person
he ever heard speak. They used frequently to invite him to
deliver public addresses at the College. But he never would
accept the invitation. After refusal, the invitation would
be renewed again after a few years with like result.
To the above estimate of Mr. Sherman, Dr. Bacon and Mr. Atwater
agreed.
When I was in the Law School at Harvard, Professor Simon Greenleaf
told the class in one of his lectures that he was once travelling
through Connecticut in a carriage on a summer journey, and
came to a town, I think Fairfield, which was the county seat.
He stopped to get his dinner and rest his horses. While the
horses were being fed he went into the court-house, intending
to stay only a few minutes, and found Roger Minott Sherman
arguing a case before the Supreme Court with Judge Gould on
the other side.
