Excerpt from Great Jurists of the World I might instance in other professions the obligation men lie under of applying themselves to certain parts of History; and I can hardly forbear doing it in that of the Law, - in its nature the noblest and most beneficial to mankind, in its abuse and debasement the most sordid and the most pernicious. A lawyer now is nothing more (I speak of ninety-nine in a hundred at least), to use some of Tully's words, "nisi leguleian quidem cautus, et acutus praeco actionum, cantor formularum, au ccps syllabarium." But there have been lawyers that were orators, philosophers, historians: there have been Bacons and Clarendons. There will be none such any more, till in some better age true ambition, or the love of fame, prevails over avarice; and till men find leisure and encouragement to prepare themselves for the exercise of this profession, by climbing up to the vantage ground (so my Lord Bacon calls it) of Science, instead of grovelling all their lives below, in a mean but gainful application of all the little arts of chicane. Till this happen, the profession of the law will scarce deserve to be ranked among the learned professions. And whenever it happens, oue of the vautage grounds to which men must climb, is Metaphysical, and the other, Historical Knowledge. Henry St. John, Viscount Boungbroke, Letters on the Study of History (1739). Whoever brings a fruitful idea to any branch of knowledge, or rends the veil that seems to sever one portion from another, his name is wTitten in the Book among the builders of the Temple. For an English lawyer it is hardly too much to say that the methods which Oxford invited Sir Henry Maine to demonstrate, in this chair of Historical and Comparative Jurisprudence, have revolutionised our legal history and largely transformed our current text-books.-Sir Frederick Pollock, Bart., The History of Comparative Jurisprudence (Farewell Lecture at the University of Oxford, 1903). No piece of History is true when set apart to itself, divorced and isolated. It is part of an intricately pieced whole, and must needs be put in its place in the netted scheme of events, to receive its true color and estimation. We are all partners in a common undertaking, - the illumination of the thoughts and actions of men as associated in society, the life of the human spirit in this familiar theatre of cooperative effort in which we play, so changed from age to age, and yet so much the same throughout the hurrying centuries. The day for synthesis has come. No one of us can safely go forward without it. - Woodrow Wilson, The Variety and Unity of History (Address at the World's Congress of Arts and Science, St. Louis, 1904).

Excerpt from Day in Court: Or the Subtle Arts of Great Advocates This is in no sense a law book. The general reader cares little for lawyers and their dry rules of law, or the prosaic forms of practice and procedure in our courts. Everybody, however, is interested in the drama of a great trial, where the property, reputation, liberty, or life of a human being is often at stake. This has been strikingly exemplified recently by the great interest taken in the trial of Madame Steinheil in France, accounts of which were published in all the leading newspapers of the world. The Tichborne case, the Beecher trial, the Parnell inquiry, the Dreyfus case, and countless others are still fresh in the memory as further illustrations of the in tense interest taken throughout the civilized world in arriving at the truth or falsity of any important legal controversy.

Excerpt from Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers Hile engaged in preparing these biographical sketches for the press, I have frequently called to remembrance an evening I spent, many years ago, in company with the eminent and well-known jurist, the late Mr. John Austin. I saw him under very favourable circumstances, when none were present but his intimate friends and connections, and he was drawn into a long and deeply interesting talk. On returning home I took notes of what he had said, and as some of his observations had reference to the subject of juris prudence, I have determined to give them here.

Excerpt from The Reign of Law Lieut. Lefroy was a grandson of General Sir John Henr Lefroy, R.A., F.R.S., one of the founders of the Institute, and President during the year 1852-53. The work of Sir John Henry Lefroy was very important, and had far reaching results. He was one of a very brilliant group who might describe themselves as: "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers," who had a great deal to do with moulding the Institute, and, through the Institute, the intellectual life of Canada. It is to be remembered that one of this group, Sir Sandford Fleming, at the time of his death Honorary President of the Institute, originated the plan of standard time which the Institute was instrumental in having generally adopted, so that in a very real sense Sir Sandford Fleming has left his "footprints on the sands of time." The Institute has always been a staunch advocate of scientific research and of the application of science to industry. Before the war the Institute decided to establish a Bureau of Industrial and Scientific Research. The plans for the establishment of such a Bureau, carefully matured, have been approved by the Canadian Manufacturers Association, the Board of Trade of the City of Toronto, the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, the University of Toronto, the Joint Committee of Technical Organizations, Ontario Branch Society of Chemical Industry, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Toronto Branch, and all the Banks having their head office in Toronto. The movement acquired such momentum, and public opinion was so aroused, that the Dominion Government constituted an Honorary Council of Industrial and Scientific Research. While this Council has not yet been adequately supported, considerable progress has already been made. Under the direction of Professor A. B. Macallum, formerly President of the Royal Canadian Institute, the foundations are being solidly laid. Scholarships and Fellowships have been established so that researchers may be trained and the scientific spirit fostered. Through the wisely directed munificence of one of our Life Members, Col. A. E. Gooderham, the Connaught Laboratories have been established and handed over to the University of Toronto and endowed by the Ontario Government. These Laboratories, which will be partially devoted to medical research, have already proved their usefulness, and will be of permanent service to science and to humanity. The resolution passed this evening indicates the appreciation on the part of the Institute of this provision for medical research.

Excerpt from The Genius of the Common Law The purpose of the Carpentier Lectures is not to furnish text-books for ordinary professional use, and I have there fore not thought it proper to cite authorities except for a few historical illustrations too lately published to be familiar, or otherwise off the usual lines. Once or twice I have named a leading case for the convenience of learned readers. I do not think I have positively stated anything as law which will not be well known to any such reader, and easily verified if desired; and the same remark applies to the historical data.

Excerpt from Classics of the Bar, Vol. 4: Stories of the World's Great Legal Trials and a Compilation of Forensic Masterpieces N the chamber at the sitting of January 22, M. Meline, the Prime Minister, declared, amid the frantic applause of his complaisant majority, that he had confidence in the twelve citizens to whose hands he intrusted the defense of the army. It was of you, gentlemen, that he spoke. And just as General Billot dictated its decision to the court martial intrusted with the acquittal of Major Esterhazy, by appealing from the tribune for respect for the chose jugee, so likewise M. Meline wished to give you the order to condemn me out of respect for the army, which be accused me of having insulted!

Excerpt from Law as a Means to an End The need of the series now proposed is so obvious as hardly to need advocacy. We are on the threshold of a long period of construe tive readjustment and restatement of our law in almost every depart ment. We come to the task, as a profession, almost wholly untrained in the technic of legal analysis and legal science in general. Neither we. Nor any community, could expect anything but crude results without thorough preparation. Many teachers, and scores of students and practitioners, must first have become thoroughly familiar with the world's methods of juristic thought. As a first preparation for the coming years of that kind of activity, it is the part of wisdom first to familiarize ourselves with what has been done by the great modern thinkers abroad to catch up with the general state of learning on the subject. After a season of this, we shall breed a family of well-equipped and original thinkers of our own. Our own law must, of course, be worked out ultimately by our own thinkers; but they must first be equipped with the state of learning in the world to date.
