Massachusetts Justice of the Peace Chooses Law and Shakespeare
A newly elected Massachusetts Justice of the Peace buys a law library and a volume of Shakespeare, reads both, and privately praises Shakespeare’s authorial craft as superior. The note recalls Senator Morton doubting Sumner’s Republicanism and cites a Richmond speech about voting rights. Various editorials question presidential qualifications such as wood chopping and cigar smoking.
