Excerpt from Mind, Vol. 5: October, 1899-March, 1900Daniel Webster came to Portsmouth, after he left his home in the country, and opened a law-office. It was there that he met Jeremiah Mason, the Nestor and leader of the New Hampshire bar. Mr. Mason was six feet six inches tall, well-formed, and with a mind to fit his body. He had for many years been easily triumphant in great, legal battles. What do you think of this young Webster? Some one asked him, after they had tried their strength in a few cases. He's a devil, said Mr. Mason. Each respected the other. Webster said Mason was the strongest lawyer in America in many forms of legal effort.They both moved to Boston, years afterward. Mr. Ma son, then an old man, was asked what he thought of young Emerson, who was making a sensation with his first lectures. I can't understand him, said the lawyer, but my gals can.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
