* Chas. H Winslow, 16 Court street, graduated from Columbia Law School, 1877; admitted to the Bar the same year, establishing himself in Brooklyn.
IN concluding the Bench and Bar of Brooklyn, we cannot re- frain from saying, that to those whose lives form a part of it, others might have been added of equal interest; but, as we have already exceeded the limits of our allotted space, we are obliged to make some omission.
Whatever opinion may be entertained of our work, one thing is certain: we leave it with an increased respect for the Judi- ciary and the Bar, and we have the vanity to think that the few rays of light we have been able to throw upon it have de- monstrated in some degree its claim to a superior position in legal history.
We have spoken reverently of its deceased members, and frankly of its living ones. We do not belong to that class who have a trembling fear of speaking well of persons, lest they should be obnoxious to the charge of undue eulogy. We believe it is proper and just to speak of a man's good qualities and of the accomplishments which he really possesses. We have dealt only with the public character of our subjects as judges and lawyers, having little to say in regard to them as private in- dividuals. Still we hesitate not to say that any man who has adorned the Bench or the Bar, who has, as a judge or lawyer, won the esteem and confidence of the public, is entitled to have
thst esteem and confidence properly expressed, in and out of history.
"But since you mean to be impartial," says the critic, "why not speak frankly of men's faults ?" We can answer only by saying: we once read of & traveler who had a singular penchant for visiting antique churches, cathedrals, and edifices abounding with beautiful works of art, but he always disregarded the grand frescoes of Angelo, the elegant altar-pieces of Horberg, the Ma- donnas of Raphael, the graces of Corregio, and the architectural grandeur about him, seeking instead charnel-houses, recepta- cles of the dead, gloomy chambers and monsstio cells. When asked why this singular preference, he replied: " Amid so much perfection, beauty and elegance, I am anxious to learn how much corruption there is to be found; how much that is revolt- ing. I have a singular love for such things that I cannot resist; a love that throws everything else into the shade. Besides, I dislike descriptions of what is called 'the besutiful,' 'the artistic ' and 'the grand;' it has too much eulogy in it. I have no fear of being over-eulogistic in my descriptions."
We confess our attachment for that writer who, with due ap- preciation and proper judgment, describes the beauties and merits he sees. L. B. P.

LEGAL BIOGRAPHIES.
HON. JASPER WILLETT GILBERT.
IT is not always that the ablest advocates make successful judges. In the majority of cases the advocate becomes a deeply interested partisan, living in the life of every cause, often the most momentous part of his client's life, imbued with his client's anxiety, glowing with his resentments, hoping and struggling for his success, until the end; therefore, unless a man is peculiarly constituted, he will, despite his desire to be perfectly unpre- judiced, find it difficult to avoid a partisan interest in the excit- ing trials over which he presides. His experience, too, in the conduct of cases enables him, almost at a glance, to see the right and the wrong of the case, and it is difficult for him to avoid a feeling of irritation at the efforts of that which he deems the wrong side to succeed; while he who comes to the Bench less experienced in the struggles of the Bar, is more apt to be free from the evils we have described.
We do not mean to be understood that the skilled and ac- complished advocate does not make an accomplished judge, or thst a lawyer inexperienced in the collisions of the Bar is always sure to be successful on the Bench. Legal history abounds in names of judges whose career at the Bar was limited; of these we may mention Chief Justice Marshall, Judge Story, Bushrod Washington, Judge Parsons, Chancellor Walworth, Eseck Cowan, William L. Marcy, who never entered deeply into the contests of the Bar, never having any taste for the excite- ments of the forum. These men rank among the most illustrious American judges.
On the other hand, in our own State there are many men whose names are bright in judicial history, who went to the Bench from an exciting and brilliant career at the Bar, and in them the advocate was at once lost in the erudite, calm, im- partial and courteous judge. Among these were Chief Justice Ambrose Spencer, Greene C. Bronson, Josiah Ogden Hoffman, Chief Justice Sanford E. Church, James C. Smith, Martin Grover and George F. Danforth; and to these we may add the name of the distinguished jurist whose legal and judicial career we are now to write-Hon. JASPER WILLETT GILBERT-who, from an ardent and successful career at the Bar, was elevated to the Bench, where his judicial abilities and natural adaptation for the place he occupied was soon recognized and acknowledged by the Bar and the public.
