Excerpt from Law Lawyers Literature
It is my purpose to show how the Law and the Lawyers have been depicted in Literature. I shall do this by extracts from the chief dramatists, novelists, historians, essayists, and moralists, with occasional notes of illustration, suggestion, or protest. There is, undoubtedly, and always has been, a tendency on the part of mankind to rail against and make fun of all the learned professions. To call the clergyman a hypocrite, the physician a murderer, and the lawyer a liar, has long been one of the favorite amusements of a numerically considerable part of mankind. Much of this is mere badinage, but a good deal is serious ; and in the portion that is not avowedly serious, there is frequently a grain of earnest. The mass of men do not love men who are able to get a living, and attain honors, without the use of money or muscle.
