These finely tempered reflections of a small city lawyer restate,
in a graceful and informal manner, the true meaning of law and
government to ordinary men. F. Lyman Windolph, for twenty-five
years a prominent attorney in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has handled
almost every kind of legal case in his career, and through his
close association with his clients he has gained an understanding
of their lives and problems which, coupled with his wide legal
knowledge, and alert sense of the social questions of the present,
gives his essays a disarming and reassuring tone. Lawyers
especially will enjoy his discussion of his experience with various
cases and the more general topics of the value of the jury system,
the difference between city and country trials, the ethics of
defending guilty clients. But all will find the chapters on the
meaning of democracy and liberalism and the indirect picture which
the book gives of the day-by-day life in a small American community
richly rewarding. In the last instance, two final essays-one on the
Pennsylvania Dutch religious sects and "A Letter to My Father"-are
particularly delightful. Several of the chapters have previously
been published in the Atlantic Monthly and other magazines.
