Excerpt from Courts and Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1: A History, 1623-1923 It is hoped that the sketches of the lives of the judges will be found reasonably complete, though brief. N o sketches are given of a number of judges now upon the bench, but in all such cases applications to such judges for biographical data have been ignored and the writer has been unable to obtain the necessary information otherwise. In a work of so much detail, minor errors are unavoidable. It is hoped, however, that such errors are not numerous, and none or very few would have occurred but for the fact that most of the members of the bars of the several districts to whom the writer has applied for informa tion have ignored his letters.
