had made arrangements for seeking rest by
n visit to Vermont. His residence had long
been at Hyde Park, and at the time when
that place became part of Chicago he was
the president of its board of trustees.
Judge Jameson had ably participated in the
conduct and trial of many important cases.
His administration of the law during his Is
years of judicial service was in the highest
degree salutary, and was every way credi-
table to his learning, his ton, his
firmness and his humanity. Yet there are
few things more evanescent than a reputa-
ton acquired by trumphs at the bar, or
through sound decisions from the bench
and it must, therefore be considered fortu
nate for his memory that he found time for
literary work His book upon "Consttu-
tional Conventions will long remain an
honorable monument to his erudition, his
power of patient investigation, his compre-
hensveness and his desire to benefit his fell
low men.
