Then Jabez was off on his college va

Simon Greenleaf, the famous Law Pro-
fessor at Cambridge, and author of the
best treaties on Evidence ever written,
was native of New Gloucester, Maine.
OF poor but respectable parentage, his
early advantages were extremely limited.
He contrived to study law and commenced
practice in Gray. little town about twen-
ty miles north of Portland. He was so
poor as to be once arrested for debt. He
removed to Portland. where he made such
favorable impression that he was ap-
pointed reporter of decisions after Maine
became a State, and acquired fine repu-
tation. His business was large and he
stood among the first. when he was in
vited through the influence OF Judge Story
to become Royal Professor of Law at
Cambridge. where he soon acquired ma
tional reputation. The treatise on Evil
dence was written here. He also wrote a
work in defence of the Gospels, which was
n failure. inasmuch as the attempt was
made to support the testimony of the evan
gelists by the rules of evidence administer
ed in courts of justice. No genius or learn
ing could make success of a work on
this basis.
