Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Rufus Choate The first four or five years of his practice was in Danvers, which he twice represented, meanwhile, in the State Legis lature. It should be recorded, however, for the benefit of such as need such a record, that the early success of Rufus Choate in law business was not such as tended very strongly to his encouragement and, during the first two or three years of his practice, it was not unfrequently a subject of serious debate with him whether he had not mistaken his calling, and whether he would not better relinquish his profession, and apply himself to some other occupation. He persevered, however, and at length his great diligence and fidelity, joined with the fame of his eloquence and skill, were rewarded with a full share of business. A most important professional trait of Mr. Choate developed itself in the very early stages of his practice - a trait which proved a permanent character istic throughout his whole brilliant career, and which, doubt less, conduced materially to his distinguished success. We allude here to his marvelous faithfulness to any and every cause which he undertook to manage and defend and that, too, irrespective utterly of its importance or otherwise, or of any recompense or lack of recompense. Before a justice of the peace, in an office not larger than a shoemaker's shop, in defense of some petty offender, he poured forth the same wealth of words and illustrations, of humor and wit, and, in its measure, of learning and argument which, afterward, de lighted the Supreme Court and Senate. Indeed, through out his life, he never reserved his brilliant arguments for a suitable audience. He early made it a rule, for the sake of' increasing his power as an advocate, to argue, at full length, every case he tried, and do his best on every occasion.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Rufus Choate The first edition of the Works of Mr. Choate, with the Memoir of his Life, was early disposed of, and for many years it has been almost impossible to obtain a copy. In the mean time the wish has been frequently expressed that the Life might be republished by itself. In accordance with this desire, the present edition has been prepared. Although in the main unchanged, it will be found to contain some additions in the form of letters, reminiscences, and selections from the writings of Mr. Choate.

Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Rufus Choate The "Home College Series" will contain one hundred short papers on a wide range of subject - biographical, historical, scientific, literary, domestic, political, and religious. Indeed, the religious tone will characterize all of them. They are written for every body - for all whose leisure is limited, but who desire to use the minutes for the enrichment of life. These papers contain seeds from the best gardens in all the world of human knowledge, and if dropped wisely into good soil, will bring forth harvests of beauty and value. They are for the young - especially for young people (and older people, too) who are out of the schools, who are full of business and cares, who are in danger of reading nothing, or of reading a sensational literature that is worse than nothing. One of these papers a week read over and over, thought and talked about at "odd times," will give in one year a vast fund of information, an intellectual quickening, worth even more than the mere knowledge acquired, a taste for solid reading, many hours of simple and wholesome pleasure, and ability to talk intelligently and helpfully to one's friends. Pastors may organize "Home College" classes, or "Lyceum Reading Unions," or "Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circles," and help the young people to read and think and talk and live to worthier purpose. A young man may have his own little "college" all by himself, rend this series of tracts one after the other, (there will soon be one hundred of them ready,) examine himself on them by the "Thought-Outline to Help the Memory," and thus gain knowledge, and, what is better, a love of knowledge. And what a young man may do in this respect, a young woman, and both old men and old women, may do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Address Commemorative of Rufus Choate Between these extremes all men stand. Far the greater number incline to the. Lower of the two; but there are in every age and place the great men of that time, qnd their place is nearer the summit. Assuredly I need not fear that it will be thought to be the language of flattery or panegyric, if it be said that he whose death we have met this day to com memorate had his own place among great men. For he was a great man, if eminent abilities, carefully cultivated and industriously exercised, and occupying a large field of action with great labor and great suc cess, and filling a wide and ever widening sphere with his renown, could constitute a claim to great ness. It is many Weeks since he died; but even now distant echoes still reach us, and tell us that his fame at home has gone abroad, and was welcomed and accepted there as true and genuine fame.
