Excerpt from A Few Plain Facts by Justice: Concerning the Plagiarisms In the article by Justice there are brief references to the history of the author of The Merchant Prince of Cornville, Captain Samuel Eberly Gross. It might be added that he entered the army of his country when a youth of seventeen years, served several years, was in many battles, underwent many hardships, and rose to the rank of Captain of Cavalry for meritorious services being the youngest officer of that rank in the army. He afterwards studied law, graduated and received his degree, was admitted and is a member of the legal profession, although not in active practice; became largely interested in enterprises for the development of real property but at all times he has been a retiring student of literature and an unassuming writer of both prose and verse some published and more unpublished.
