The legal profession of the present
day Will be surprised to learn that MT
Webster, the greatest American law
yer of his time, made but S1o'OoO a
year by his practice. But the fees OF
counsel between 1910 and 1850 were
not what they have been since.
In 1S4S l accompanied a client TO
Mr.. Websters Office in Boston and ask
ed him to name a retaining fee In an
important patent case. He said he
thought a couple Of hundred dollars
would do. When the case was tried
his fee was only $1,000. on another
occasion l paid him a retaining fee OF
$1,000 for the proprietors of the Good
year india rubber patent.
His fee for arguing the great equity

he established the validity Of the Good
