Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Decisions, Vol. 11: Containing the Cases of General Value and Authority Decided in the Courts of the Several States, From the Earliest Issue of the State Reports to the Year 1869 In January, 1878, the first volume of the aherioak decisions was given to the legal public, and was greeted with a generous welcome which fully justified the wisdom of the undertaking, and demonstrated the excellence of the plan upon which it was proposed to be conducted. The continued approval of the suc cessive volumes was very grateful to the editor, and he cherished the favorable reviews of the beloved offspring of his intellect with the same pride with which a father hears of the honors won by his son. But he was not to live to see the completion and full fruition of his chosen task. On the morning of July 22, 1879, succumbing to a malady which had once before threatened his life, he passed peacefully away.
