An analysis of the unique Federal judiciary which came into existence through the ratification of the US Constitution, and of the early leaders of the same - John Jay, Oliver Ellsworth, and John Marshall. Boardman notes the significance of lifetime appointments to the Federal judiciary, and gives reasons for it being beneficial. He appeals to the members of the Bar to have the highest standards of integrity, and reminds them that we must all appear before the dread tribunal of God, and implores them to find mercy in Christ.
Henry Augustus Boardman, D.D. (1808-1880), Presbyterian minister, born at Troy, New York. Dr. Boardman was the valedictorian of his Yale class in 1829, and he graduated at Princeton Seminary in 1833. His only pastorate was one of forty-six years at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He contributed several valuable books to the reading public.
“Dr. Boardman was evangelical and elevated in his thoughts, and pure, simple, and direct in his style. His published works have been useful to the Church and honorable to his scholarship.” – M’Clintock & Strong.
