Denunciation of the legal pro-
fession as a whole does not do the
individual members of the pro-
fession any harm. Lawyers have
been denounced and caricatured
in the public prints and on the
stage from a time immemOrial.
But in spite of it all the individu-
al lawyer is respected according
to his merits. And, more than
that, he is trusted by the very
people who r most violent in
their denunciation of lawyers as
a class. Your Hawser Trunnions
and your Landors may damn the
lawyers until threatened with
apoplexy, but when there is
trouble a-brewing they HE them
hence to those very same lawyers.
Trusted with the most intimate
secrets, and often with the al
most absolute control of the prop
erty of his client, the individual
lawyer can well afford to say of
the criticisms of his profession
which pass current with the vul-
gar That they pass by me as the
idle wind which / respect not. !"
