Excerpt from Courts and Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Vol. 2: A History, 1623-1923 At another time, Mr. Lewis, who was also a firm man, and had, for the most part, great influence with the court, prefaced a motion which he was about to make, by saying, that the subject was so uncommon that he scarcely knew in what form to present the application; to which the judge harshly answered, You have been more than twenty years at the bar, Sir, and if you don't understand how to make a motion, you had better consult your books, and learn. It need hardly be remarked, whatever may have been his deficiency in civility, that he was a judge of great decision and force of character. During the course of his long judicial life, he never wavered in what his duty seemed to require. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
