Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Law Journal, Vol. 6: November, 1846-October, 1847Mr. Baldwin's first permanent residence was at Meadville, in Crawford county, but it was not long before his increasing business drew him into practice at Pittsburg, at that time the most important town west of the Alleghanies. He found there a bar singularly well adapted to the enterprising and sagacious population in which it was placed. Conspicuous in its ranks for legal attainments, as well as for strong reasoning faculties, stood James Ross, then but shortly before elected to the Senate of the United States by the federalists, during their brief early supremacy in Pennsylvania. By his side were Steel Sample, a man whose thorough learning and prodigious argumentative strength, conceded by most of his cotemporaries to be unrival led at the western bar, were afterwards unhappily obscured by habits too frequently, at that time, the bane of the profession, John Woods, whose substantial business capacity had earned for him a large practice, William Wilkins, afterwards Sena tor from Pennsylvania and minister to Russia, and then a graceful and popular advocate, and Parker Campbell, who, though residing at Washington, was concerned in most of the important trials in the western part of the state. The bar was well stocked, and independently of the natural jealousy felt by joint tenants towards a stranger who seeks to share with them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
