About this title

Synopsis

Autobiography: Collateral Reminiscences, Arguments In Important Causes, Speeches, Addresses, Lectures, And Other Writings, Of Samuel A. Foot — Samuel A. Foot. This compact autobiography traces Samuel A. Foot's ascent from a humble New England upbringing to a prominent 19th-century New York lawyer and judge. It blends family history, rigorous self-education, and public conscience across the early 1800s through the 1860s, with emphasis on his farm-life duties, scholarly self-discipline, and a personal rule of study. The narrative covers clerkships with his brother and James Thompson, the development of a methodical approach to law, and early prosecutions, followed by financial crises that threaten his career and a turnaround enabled by Chancellor James Kent. It chronicles his marriage to Mariam Fowler, diaries begun in 1823, religious reform, and a long public career, including Albany County District Attorney, canal politics, and a broad travel diary. The book also surveys his abolitionist stance, his Dred Scott pamphlet, and his postwar Reconstruction ideas—educational suffrage, constitutional amendments, and nationwide education as a basis for political representation. Rich in dates, anecdotes, and diary entries, it presents a reflective, confessional portrait of a life devoted to law, faith, and public duty.
