[51] See an interesting’ article by Mr. Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court of the United States, on portraits of Marshall, in the Century Magazine for September, 1889, (vol. 38, page 778.) A portrait by Jarvis, valued as a work of art and as a good likeness, is in the possession of Mr. Justice Gray. Mr. Justice Bradley appears to be wrong in saying that there is a full-length of Marshall at Washington and Lee University. There are two portraits of him there, but, as I am assured, no full-length.

[54] My friend Dr. Horace Howard Furness, of Philadelphia, writes (and allows me to quote): “I remember hearing my father say that Dr. Physick told him, just after that operation of lithotomy, that he had ‘washed the judge out as clean as a plate,’ and that he went on to say that after the operation the strictest quiet was enjoined, not a muscle was to be moved; but what was his alarm on his next visit to see Judge Marshall sitting up in bed with paper and pencil on his knees, writing to his wife!”

[57] Many a “severe contusion” must he have suffered in those primitive days, from upsets and joltings, in driving every year between Richmond and Washington, some 120 miles each way; from Richmond to Raleigh and back, in attending his North Carolina circuit, about 175 miles each way; and between Richmond and Oakhill, his country place, every summer, about 100 miles each way. For instance, in 1812, Cranch, the reporter, remarks that Marshall was not present at the beginning of the term, as he “received an injury by the oversetting of the stage-coach on his journey from Richmond.”
[Transcriber's Notes.]
Welcome to Project Gutenberg's edition of John Marshall by James Bradley Thayer from the Riverside Biographical Series. Below is a list of emendations to the text. This version of the book was checked with an updated version by the same publisher and author, with the same stated year of publication. There were six changes in the updated book. We made the changes that appeared to correct typos. The changes in the updated version of the book that changed the meaning of the sentence are listed here, but we did not change the text. We also made one emendation (on Page 25), where quoted text was missing the left-handed double quote.
