Excerpt from The Reign of Law Time would not permit me to give an adequate account of the invaluable services to the United States of the Supreme Court, ord of the similar services rendered to Canada and the' other parts of the British Empire by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. In Canada there were angry disputes between provinces of different races and diverse creeds, and it was most fortunate that there existed such a tribunal as the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to decide such disputes as they did, and to do it so satisfactorily. The Supreme Court of the United States has rendered notable services, not only to the United States, not only to jurisprudence and international law, but also to the cause of civilization. The fame of its great jurists, of whom I shall mention only Marshall, Story and Brewer, extends far beyond the boundaries of the United States; indeed, where ever the gladsome light of jurisprudence illumines the path of progress.
