Wilcox, Henry S. Foibles of the bench. $1. Legal literature co., Chicago
The various types found upon the bench in all lands and ages and here personified and analyzed under such chapter headings as; Egotism, Courtesy, Concentration, Courage, Decision, Vain display, Corruption, etc.; in which appear Judge Knowall, Judge Wasp, Judge Doall, Judge Fearful, Judge Wobbler, Judge Wind, Judge Graft and others, who are classed under the virtues which they fail to represent. The whole is breezy and amusing.
“It is excellent work of this character that makes one regret the carelessness and lack of skill that have ruined what might otherwise have been a valuable criticism of the Bench.” Frederick Trevor Hill.
