Excerpt from The Crisis and Our Duties: Address Before the Alumni Association of Wabash College, at Their Annual Meeting, June 19, 1888 Now what could the plain, old fashioned common law, with its quaint discussions of the king's highway and the duties of common carriers do with that masterful banditti.

But such judges could do vastly more if supplemented by com petent and honest legislators. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
