"I had hoped to get you off before it happened. It's all off now. You might as well throw Blackstone into Blue." "What do you mean?" queried Dic. "Before what happened?" "Before Rita happened," responded Billy. "Rita?" cried Dic in astonishment. "How did you know?" "How do I know that spring follows winter?" asked Billy.
Of all things, to have praise you don't deserve, and not to be able to reject it, is the most miserable! It is as bad as painting one's face." "Hardly a case in point," said Mr. Blackstone. "For the artificial complexion would be your own work, and the other would not."
Blackstone burst into one of his splendid roars of laughter; for if ever a man could laugh like a Christian who believed the world was in a fair way after all, that man was Mr. Blackstone; and even my husband, who seldom laughs at any thing I say with more than his eyes, was infected by it, and laughed heartily. "That's rather a strong assertion, my love," said my father.
Whenever you see a boy trying to amount to something, help him, for that is a direct good, done to mankind. Now to business. Have you read Blackstone?" "Yes, but not thoroughly. I have never owned his book." "There he is on my desk. I keep him near me.
Blackstone says that democracy is peculiarly fitted to the making of laws, and calls attention to the importance of legislation, with the regret that there should be no other state of life, arts, or science, in which no preliminary instruction is looked upon as requisite; but by "democracy" Blackstone really meant representative government, which still acts quite differently from the referendum and the initiative.
The eyes of the world could not read the impoverished heart that throbbed within her bosom. On first leaving college, Emile Le Grande intended to study law, and for months endeavored to concentrate his mind upon the prosaic, practical teachings of Blackstone.
Toomey tapped the lapel of his jacket impressively with his forefinger. "I'm Jasper Toomey of Prouty, Wyoming." The waiter received the information without flinching. "Call up the Blackstone and they'll tell you I'll be in to-morra an' shettle." He wafted the waiter away grandly, that person shrugging a dubious shoulder as he vanished.
We fear that the studies of Blackstone, upon which the gentlemen who argue thus have entered in order to fit themselves for the legal and constitutional argument of the question, have confused their minds, and that they are misled by some fancied analogy between a tract and an action of trover, and conceive that the one, like the other, cannot be employed till after an actual conversion has taken place.
It has therefore a logical priority: and to attempt to ignore this is the way to all the labyrinths of hopeless confusion by which legislation has been made a chaos. Bentham's position is indicated by his early conflict with Blackstone, not a very powerful representative of the opposite principle.
Tazewell had no respect for law schools as an instrumentality of rearing great lawyers. He said if the student would have lectures, let him read Blackstone; and he ever maintained the opinion that the popularity of those charming commentaries had tended to depreciate the standard of legal intellect since their appearance an opinion which he shared with Mr. Jefferson.
