Caddy Buddy books

He was a model of the professional
character, of great courtesy to his opponent, great deference
to the court, fidelity to his client, giving to every case
all the labor which could profitably be spent upon it. The
certainty of the absolute fidelity, thoroughness, and skill
with which his part of the duty of an important trial would
be performed, made it a delight to try cases as his associate.
He was especially powerful with juries in cases involving
the domestic relations, or which had in them anything of the
pathos of which the court-house so often furnishes examples.
He did not care in those days for the preparation or argument
of questions of law, although he possessed legal learning
fully adequate to the exigencies of his profession, and never
neglected any duty.
His fine powers continued to grow as he grew older. I think
he was unsurpassed in this country in the generation to which
he belonged in native gifts of oratory. He had a fine voice,
of great compass and power, a graceful and dignified presence.
He was familiar with the best English literature.
