Providing readers with the unusual opportunity to enter into the
extraordinary mind of a patriot immediately before the Revolution,
the Portrait of a Patriot series presents the major papers of the
Boston lawyer and patriot penman Josiah Quincy Jr. (1744-1775). In
volume 2 of the series we are introduced to Quincy's Legal
Commonplace Book; the companion of his Political Commonplace Book
from volume 1, the Legal Commonplace Book illustrates the
systematic program of reading through which aspiring young lawyers
learned their trade in colonial New England. In the accompanying
introduction, coeditor Daniel R. Coquillette explains how the
system of legal apprenticeship worked in Boston and contends that
the level of legal argument practiced in Massachusetts prior to the
Revolution was much less provincial than previously assumed. Volume
2 also includes a new transcription of the journal Quincy kept on a
1773 trip to the southern colonies undertaken on behalf of the
Boston Committee of Correspondence to assess the depth of
commitment to the patriot cause there, in which Quincy comments
tartly on southern manners, womenfolk, and the institution of
slavery.
