About the open grave We stand to-
day with almost tilial sorrow. In the
fnllnoss OF years, Mt the end OF n career
rounded 10 ontiro completeness, his life
work finished. Daniel Lamb has passed
away. For him there was nothing left
undone, no reason why no should delay
here longer. For US, as We roverently
lay him away from u sight, it is fit
ting that We should s~tfectionately re-
call tho tender memories OF SO sweet y
life, tho graccs and tirmer' qualities OF
80 complete u character. His life work
was that OF tho statesman, the %tinancieE,
the lawyer. 1t demanded for its varied
duties, and il found in him NIL the
powers OF a mind strong, alert, trained
and ven
In the darkest and most turbulent
period OF our public history he brought
10 the service OF tho state. n calm, far
seeing and conservative wisdom, q pro-
found learning and a manly, though
scli.contained strength. His place in
history is among the founders OF com.
monwealths and the trainers OF consti-
tuiions.
In q Very marked degree, he exhibit
cd percisioa OF thought and exact accur-
acy OF method, and to these characteris-
tics, united 10 his answering fidelity
and probisy. are 10 be attributed his
success as q tinancier.
he was = gifted and learned lawyer. q
wise and conscientious counsellor. His
learning was profound, exact and ready.
He was diliSent, uuaSSuminc. able. His
memory, so important q faculty for n
lawyer. was remarkably tenacious and
accurate. Firm in the assertion OF tho
rights OF his clients, and OF his own
rights as their advocate, his oven tenn,
yer preserved him from acrimony. his
kindness and amiabii:y lett his oppo-
nent no room Tor bitterness. Among
lawyers, as he was the Oldest, so he was
the best, yet was Ike always ready to aid
others, and all appreciated the value OF
his aid. Hegave counsel to counselloes;
he was the lawyer OF lawyers.
But il is neither the statesman, the
lawyer, moi the tinaucier, it is the man
whom We most teuderly remember.
Ills character vas simplicity itself,
Euilcless, aad seeing no guile in others.
In lifelong contact with the wrong and
injustice 10 right, which is the lawyers
work, no seemed to know evil only in
the abstract and theoretical, and to
meet his fellow men with un~suspicious
confidence. He displayed t times a
righteous indignation at injustice. but
his temper was uniformly amiable, aud
under she most trying circumstances
he preserved an urdis,urbed serenity.
Living among judicial contests, his lie
was IS perfect as his placid death. IN.
teecousss with him was delightful.
Free from show as Stfec!suop. his man
ner was courteous and dicnitied. He
