Abstract

Issues and Men: The Great Judge
March 20, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

So the good and great judge has gone, superb in his courage, superb in his adherence to old-fashioned American ideals of liberty and superb in his maintenance of a wonderful tradition. With the death of the author Oliver Wendell Holmes a generation practically disappears. In the handful of remaining survivors of the Civil War there is not one man of distinction. In a way lie was even a link with the Revolution, for his grandmother witnessed the British evacuation of Boston, saw the redcoats surrender the city to the despised revolutionists — and he heard the story from her.
