His father had died when he was but little more than two years old. Upon the evacuation of Philadelphia by the British, he accompanied his step-father to New York, at his mother's request, and there began the study of law under Atty. Gen. Kempe. Seeking greater advant- ages, and to escape the din of Toryism, with which he was not in ac- cord he sailed for England on June 15, 1781, and in August, was ad- mitted to the Middle Temple, where he completed his legal studies. After travelling on the Continent, he returned to Philadelphia in January, 1783, and on September 15, two months before his marriage, was admitted to the bar. He soon gained the regard of his fellow citizens. In 1786, he was elected a Member of the American Philo- sophical Society, and also Secretary of the Library Co. He held the latter office until 1792, when he became a Director, serving as such until 1798, and subsequently from 1821 to 1825. In 1787, he joined " The Society for Political Inquiries " just forming, which met weekly at Franklin's house. In October, 1789, he was chosen a Member of the General Assembly of the State, notwithstanding that he had de- clined the nomination, and had published his refusal to serve. The importunities of his friends induced him to take his seat. He was a decided Federalist, and a personal friend as well as admirer of Washing- ton. He was requested to become a candidate for re-election, but so strong was his objection to political life that he positively declined.
In 1791, he was appointed U. S. Attorney for the District of Penn- sylvania, holding the office until 1800, and in 1792 declining the Judgeship of the U. S. District Court. In Feb., 1792, he became Attorney and Counsel for the Bank of the United States. He was many years a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. At the in- corporation of the Law Academy of Philadelphia in 1821, he was chosen its Vice President. In 1822, he was made Chancellor of the " Associated Members of the Bar of Philadelphia," and upon its union in 1827 with " The Law Library Company of Philadelphia " (of which he was also a member) under the name of "The Law Association of Philadelphia," he was elected Chancellor of the new institution, and held the office until his death. He was one of the founders of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, organized in 1824, and was chosen its first President.
He twice declined the position of President Judge of the District Court of Philadelphia County. In 1830, he was appointed with Thomas I. Wharton and Hon. Joel Jones to revise the Civil Code of Pennsyl-

vania, and was the principal author of the reports of the Commission, the valuable results of whose labors are embodied in statutes still remain- ing in force. Besides various addresses, Mr. Rawle was the author of " A View of the Constitution of the United States " (1825) which con- tinued to be the chief authority and text-book on that subject for nearly forty years.
He left various MSS. on theological matters, among them an "Essay on Angelic Influences," also an argument on "Original Sin and the Virtue of Baptism," and an argument on the evidences of Christianity as found in the miracles of Our Lord. He began also a translation of the Phædon of Plato, intending to add a commentary, and the portions he finished " would in themselves alone," according to David Paul Brown, "suffice to protect his name against oblivion." He was hon. LL.D. (Princeton 1827 and Dartmouth 1828).
He died April 12, 1836.

WILLIAM RAWLE, b. Phila. July 19, 1788, son of William and Sarah Coates Rawle, for some time attended Princeton College, and was admitted to the Phila. bar on May 21, 1810. During the War of 1812, he served as Captain of the 2nd Troop, Phila. City Cavalry. Returning to the practice of the law, he in due time attained a rank at the bar but little inferior to his father's before him ; and the name of William Rawle Jr. is among the first in the annals of a profession where the abilities of Philadelphians have become proverbial. In his twenty-sixth year, he began with Hon. Thomas Sergeant the prepara- tion of reports of the Decisions of the Supreme Court of the State, and they published eighteen volumes. Judge Sergeant retiring from the work in 1828, Rawle continued it until 1835, publishing five volumes. From 1835 to 1840, he was a Member of the Common Council of the City, and for four years was President of that body. He was chosen a member of the American Philos. Society in 1841. He was for many years a Vice President of the Historical Society and Secretary and afterwards a Director of the Library Co. and also a Trustee of the University.
