CHARLES GRANDISON THOMAS was born in Denmark, N. Y., the son of poor parents, and was brought up as a charcoal burner. The history of the Massachusetts bar can show among its members no career more picturesque than his. After reaching man- hood he determined to gratify a passion for learning which had been growing stronger with his years, and in some mysterious way succeeded in reaching the sea- board and securing an humble position as an assistant and man of all work under the keeper of the East Chop Light on Martha's Vineyard. Here he found his way to books of various kinds, and as he studied their contents a still higher ambition was excited to obtain a collegiate education. In entire ignorance of the necessary quali- fications for admission to Harvard, he groped along, from reading to geography, from geography to mathematics, from mathematics to Latin, from Latin to Greek, and when he thought himself equipped for a trial, he went on foot to Cambridge and presented himself for examination. Being probably favored by the faculty, to whom the peculiar circumstances of his case were made known, he was admitted, and pass- ing through his collegiate course, always known under the sobriquet of Light- house Thomas, he graduated creditably in 1838. He then entered the Law School at Cambridge, graduating in 1841, and the writer remembers him well, often seeing him walking into Boston studying a law book on the way. Precisely by what means he was enabled to pass through the various stages of his education the writer has never been informed. It is probable, however, that he was a beneficiary of one or another college fund and received also aid from some one of the many benevolent
