Excerpt from John Marshall The constantly increasing interest in the life and services of Marshall make it appropriate at this time to issue in a single volume the excellent work by Mr. Flanders. Originally issued in the author's Lives and Times of the Chief Justices of the United States, Flanders' Life of Marshall has been generally acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive and authentic written, and has been variously re ferred to and quoted. The publishers have thus been induced to think that, revised and reissued in separate form, this standard Life of Marshall would be a convenience to the reading public. Hence the present volume.
