"The earlier Virginan lawyers, as
rule. were very highly educated in every
department of what is styled polite lite
nature. They were educated at William
and Mary, and In many instances were
also graduates of Princeton, school

inspire it's students with literary yearn-

our institutions I'm Virginia would better

and of the tastes and aspirations thus in
spred are obvious Their arguments in
court. and their orations on the hastings
as handed down by tradition, their pam
phlets and newspaper articles upon pub
lie questions, and. In some instances,
their more lasting and pretentious books,
all testify 10 their wide range OF read
ing. and to the literary aspiration de-
rived from classic lore in which they
were all so deeply versed. Wythe, Pen

well. Roane. Gilmer Carr, and hun
bred Others / could mention. all felt the
benefit which literary culture gives the
lawyer. and through its aid stamped their
learning and powers on the age In which
they lived, but we are largely dependent
on tradition as TO the great work they
accomplished, and as to the mode in
which that work was done.
