First sentence: THE lawyer, when he reads attentively the works of William Shakespeare, may not be more surprised by the poet's correct use of law terms, and intimate acquaintance with legal customs and tenures, and the lex scripta, than by his extensive and profound knowledge of the maxims of the English law.
