,—the residence of legal monsters, who disguise themselves when they are bent upon plun­der, for the same reason that highwaymen ro to prevent detection. The attornies (a body of men, which, taken collectively, are a disgrace to human society) are their parasites and their Panders. Doubtless there are many, very many valuable members of society in both these communities, but one cannot help abhorring the general esprit de corps which is their characteristic. It is a great consolation, however, to me, that the rising gene­ration of lawyers (I speak of those intended for the bar) are for the most part, young men of libe­ral and enlightened minds, and from whom much may be expected.
