[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!”

Murray,--“the late Sir Charles Murray, at one time Master of the
Household to the Queen, who, as a young man, was attached to the
British Legation at Washington.”--_The Spectator_, February 9, 1901,
p. 199.
[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.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
