From Colburn I went to Maxwell,—an intelligent and enterprising law-publisher, whom I knew very well, and who had just published Story's Equity Pleadings at my suggestion.

He had observed, in boyhood and in manhood, all the obligations of a son. You were a good son, wrote Lieber, in a letter of condolence. Cleveland, who knew all the circumstances of his life at home, wrote: That your duty to him was fully done, must now be a source of infinite satisfaction.
