THE HONORABLE JOHN READ. 
 
T 
 
 THE HONORABLE JOHN READ. 
 
 BY CHARLES J. M» INTIRE. 
 
 John Read, of Boston, Attorney-General of the Province, was 
 one of the most eminent lawyers and distinguished citizens that 
 New England ever produced. He was a scholar, a wit and 
 orator, and a jurist, possessed of broad views, extensive acquire- 
 ments, and vigor of intellect ; but, although chief among the 
 wise, witty, and eloquent, little has been written of him aside 
 from the many anecdotes bearing testimony to his learning and 
 sagacity, his witticisms and eccentricities. It was said of him 
 by John Adams that " he had as great a genius and became as 
 eminent as any man. ' And he styled him at another time as 
 "that great Gamaliel." 
 
 Elliott, in his Biographical Dictionary, relates that " Mr. Read 
 was a gentleman of very brilliant talents, of sterling integrity, a 
 friend of the people, of the laws, and of government. For his 
 superior abilities he was considered as one of the greatest lawyers 
 in this country. The succeeding generation indulged a pride in 
 quoting his legal opinions and sayings in common conversation. 
 . . . While he sat at that board [the Governor's Council] he 
 was their oracle, and was eminently useful to the country." 
 
 Hutchinson regarded him as a " very eminent lawyer, and, 
 which is more, a person of great integrity and firmness of mind." 
 Knapp adds that " as a legislator he was conspicuous, but so 
 unambitious a man could not have been a regular leader. He 
 was too independent and enlightened for a lover of prerogative, 
 and too honest for a leader of faction ; he spoke with frankness, 
 regardless of political consequences. A great man who con- 
 descends to enter into the politics of the day, and bear the heat 
 
and burden of it, owes nothing to the public for his honors ; but 
 the public are much indebted to him for his exertions." 
 
 Both Mr. Quincy and James Otis contribute to his fame, the 
 one by designating him, in his history of Harvard College, as 
 " one of the most eminent lawyers of that period in New Eng- 
 land ; " and the other by stating that " he was the greatest 
 common lawyer this country ever saw." He was born in Con- 
 necticut Feb. 14, 1680, and in the history of the Read families 
 is stated to be the son of Samuel Read, of Mendon, Mass., 
 and his wife Hopestill Holbrook, and a grandson of John 
 Read, who came with the great fleet in 1 630, and in 1 643 or 4 
 went to Rehoboth. Mr. George B. Reed, in his excellent 
 sketch of the life of John Read, published in 1879, to which I 
 am indebted for many facts, says that he may have been a 
 descendant of John Read, of Rehoboth, or of the family of the 
 second wife of Governor Winthrop, of Connecticut, who was a 
 Read. At seventeen years of age he graduated from Harvard 
 College, and began at once to prepare himself for the ministry. 
 He preached at Waterbury, East Hartford, and Stratford, Conn., 
 from 1698 to 1706. Having been drawn unwillingly into 
 law-suits concerning his title to certain lands, and becoming 
 thereby interested in the science of the law, he concluded to 
 devote himself to its knowledge and practice. Accordingly, 
 after a period of about two years' study, he was admitted to 
 practice at the bar on Oct. 6, 1 708, His superior abilities soon 
 attracted attention and clients. He rose rapidly in his profes- 
 sion, and in May, 171 2, was made Queen's Attorney for the 
 colony, which office he held for several years. In the " Con- 
 necticut Colonial Records" we find frequent mention of him in 
 connection with law-suits in the courts, and important matters 
 before the General Assembly. In 17 14 he settled at Lonetown, 
 upon a tract which he purchased of the Indians, where he con- 
 tinued to reside until 1721, during the remainder of his stay in 
 Connecticut. That colony secured his services in 1719, as one 
 of her commissioners on the disputed boundary line of New 
 York ; and also in 1720, as her sole representative to meet the 
 Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire commis- 
 sioners, and with them to consider how to recover and support 
 
the credit of the paper bills then in circulation as money. 
 Upon this matter he drew up and submitted an interesting 
 report, showing how the value of such money might be sus- 
 tained. 
 
 At about twenty years of age he had married Ruth Talcot, the 
 sister of Gov. Joseph Talcot, and daughter of Lieut.-Col. John 
 Talcot, who commanded the Connecticut forces in King Philip's 
 war. In 1 721, when he had reached his full vigor, he looked 
 for broader fields in which to exercise his talents, and upon 
 receiving encouragement from influential citizens of Boston, 
 he removed there enrly during the year. 
 
 Within a very short time after taking up his new abode, the 
 House of Representatives elected him attorney-general, to fill the 
 vacancy caused by the death of Thomas Newton on ' • v 28 ; but 
 Governor Shute negatived the vote, partly, perhaos, for the 
 reason that Read had so recently become a resident, but more 
 particularly because of his opinion that it w.^s the Governor's 
 prero^a'v i to appoint such officer. The position, therefore, 
 remained vacant during that year. 
 
 On Dec. 12, 1 722, Mr. Read purchased a residence upon Han- 
 over street, near the present location of the American House. 
 A large and lucrative practice had awaited him in Massachu- 
 setts, and he seemed to have hi choice of clients. The town 
 of Boston secured his services in many matters wherein its 
 inhabitants were interested, and the province likewise retained 
 him in its controversies with New Hampshire and Rhode Island 
 as to the proper boundaries. Connecticut, moreover, continued 
 to employ him to represent her in her diflTerences with Rhode 
 Island and New York. 
 
 In 1722 John Overing was chosen attorney -general, and in 
 
 1723 Read was again elected, and this time confirmed. In 
 
 1724 he was once more elected, but Lieutenant-Governor Dum- 
 mer, who held the same opinion as did Governor Shute regard- 
 ing the exclusive right of the Executive, under the charter, to 
 make the appointment, having been reenforced by similar opin- 
 ions expressed the previous year by the attorney-general and the 
 solicitor-general of England, submitted his opinion in writing to 
 the Council. The Council advised him that the election was in 
 
accordance with the charter and practice, but Dummer with- 
 held consent. 
 
 In 1725, 1726, and 1727 Read was elected and duly con- 
 firmed each year. 
 
 The people of Boston elected him to the House of Represent- 
 atives on May 10, 1738, and he became thus the first lawyer 
 who was ever chosen a member of the General Court. It was 
 in this year that he conveyed his estate on Hanover street to 
 his son William, and removed to' his new mansion on Queen 
 street, now Court. His grounds there covered the entire square 
 bounded by Cornhill, Court and Washington streets. 
 
 In 1 741 and 1742 he was sent to the Governor's Council, 
 and was recognized at once as the ablest member of that 
 
 Board. 
 
 Among the members of the bar John Read was renowned as a 
 special pleader in the days when special pleading was a science, 
 and many tales are told of his efficiency. He took upon him- 
 self the responsibility of reducing the obscure and redundant 
 phraseology of the English deeds of conveyance to their present 
 simple forms. Knapp tells us that his influence and authority 
 must have been great, as a lawyer, to have brought his re- 
 trenched forms into general use ; and, further, that the declara- 
 tions which he made and used in civil actions have many of them 
 come down to us as precedents, and are among the finest speci- 
 mens of special pleading which can be found. Both Story and 
 Parsons have also commended his pleadings in the highest of 
 
 terms. 
 
 His family consisted of two sons and four daughters. Col. 
 John Read, the eldest, was born in 1700, and became a man 
 of prominence in Connecticut, where he remained and died. 
 The younger son, William, was born in 17 10; came to Boston 
 with his father ; was a lawyer ; appointed judge of the Admi- 
 ralty Court in 1766; a judge of the Superior Court in 1770; 
 was one of the five judges appointed by the Council in 1775, 
 and died, unmarried, in 1780. The daughters were Ruth, who 
 married Rev. Mr. Haven, of Fairfield, Conn. ; Mary, born April 
 14, 1 716, married Capt. Charles Morris, of Boston, who com- 
 manded a company in 1745 at the siege of Louisburg, and re-

 mained in Nova Scotia, becoming Councillor, and Chief-Justice 
 of the Supreme Court ; and Abigail and Deborah. 
 
 Attorney-General Read was a vestryman of King's Chapel, 
 and he occupied pew No. i6. He died at Boston, Feb. 14, 
 1 749, at the age of sixty-nine years, and was buried in the crypt 
 of the chapel. Ruth Read, his widow, died July 20, 1759, 
 aged eighty-one years, and was also buried in the chapel's 
 crypt.

 CHIEF-JUSTICE CHARLES MORRIS. 
 
 
CHIEF-JUSTICE CHARLES MORRIS. 
 
 BY CHARLES J. MCINTIRE. 
 
 \ 
 
 The story of Charles Morris, who left his New England 
 home a soldier, and ultimately became Privy Councillor and 
 Chief- Justice of Nova Scotia, is instructive and interesting. He 
 was the sixth of a family of nine children. His father, also a 
 Charles Morris, was bom in Bristol, England, in 1675, came to 
 Boston in 1696, and in 1699 married Esther Rainsthorpe, who 
 had been here since 1684. The Rev. Charles Morris, bom in 
 Wales in 1650, was his grandfather. The subject of our sketch 
 was born in Boston June 11, 1 7 1 1 , received a good education, 
 and, like Washington, devoted much attention to the surveying 
 of lands, becoming an acknowledged expert in such work while 
 he was yet young. At twenty-one years of age he married Mary 
 Read, the daughter of Hon. John Read, of Boston, the eminent 
 lawyer and attorney-general of the province of Massachusetts 
 
 Bay. 
 
 Mr. Akens, the Commissioner of Public Records, informs us 
 that when Govemor Shirley was calling for volunteers, in 1745, 
 for the expedition under Pepperell against Louisburg, Morris 
 offered his services, was given the command of a company, 
 and took active part in the memorable siege and capture. 
 After the surrender of that fortress, by the request of Governor 
 '^'-irley Captain Morris made a survey of the whole of Nova 
 Scotia with a view to British colonization. This survey was 
 duly sent to the " Board of Trade and Plantations," accom- 
 panied by a concise account of the state of the province, a copy 
 of which is still preserved among the archives of Halifax. In 
 the winter of 1746-7 Shirley sent an expedition composed of 
 New England soldiers, commanded by Noble, to hold Minas 
 
u 
 
 against the enemy, and the first section under Captain Morris 
 reached its destination on December 12. When the whole force 
 had arrived and taken up its quarters at Grand Pr^, it did not 
 exceed in all four hundred and seventy men. These men had 
 marched thirty leagues in eight days, in spite of this inclement 
 season, with fourteen days' provisions on their backs. They dis- 
 tributed themselves in small bodies among the houses deserted 
 by the inhabitants, not believing it practicable for the enemy 
 to reach there during the winter ; but the French Commander 
 Coulon, having learned that they were settled in quarters at 
 great distances from each other, resolved to attack them. So, 
 gathering recruits on the journey, to the number of about six 
 hundred including Indians, he marched through the woods, and 
 at about three o'clock in the morning of January 31, o.s., 
 surprised the New Englanders, in a blinding suow-storm, by 
 furious attacks upon them in their scattered quarters. Notwith- 
 standing this unexpected assault they bravely resisted, but 
 Colonel Noble, Lieutenants Lechemere, Jones, and Pickering, 
 Ensign Noble, and about seventy soldiers were killed, and 
 Captain Doane with about sixty-nine men were wounded and 
 taken prisoners. Meanwhile Captain Morris rallied the others, 
 who fought their way through the enemy until they reached a 
 large stone building in the middle of the town, known as the 
 guard-house, which they courageously held. The next day, 
 after an unsuccessful sortie in the deep snow, upon an offer of 
 an honorable surrender, with leave to bear off their arms and 
 colors, and six days' provisions, they capitulated, marched out, 
 and were permitted to join the force at Annapolis. In a letter 
 written from Boston, Feb. 18, 1749, to the Duke of Bedford, 
 Secretary of State, Governor Shirley refers to a report and plan 
 of survey of Captain Morris, " who commanded one of the six 
 New England companies, an officer who has distinguished 
 himself ... by his behavior at Minas against the enemy." 
 When Louisburg was evacuated by the British in 1749, after 
 the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, Morris went to Chebucto with 
 the garrison, and in that year, together with Mr. Bruce, the 
 military engineer, by the request of Governor Comwallis he laid 
 out the town of Halifax. He was, moreover, the author of 
 
 i 
 
15 
 
 most of the surveys of Nova Scotia during the first years of the 
 settlement. 
 
 He was appointed Surveyor- General in 1749, and held the 
 office for thirty-two years. On Dec. 30, 1755, he was created 
 Privy Councillor, and continuously held that office also down to 
 the time of his decease. On March 5, 1753, he was made 
 Justice of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas; in June, 1764, a 
 Judge of the Supreme Court, and Chief-Justice on April 30, 
 1776. His son, grandson, and great-grandson succeeded him 
 in turn as Surveyor-General, and his son likewise as Privy 
 Councillor. Other positions of importance were entrusted to 
 the captain from Boston. In 1748 he was one of the officers 
 sent to Minas to put out the embers of rebellion and dis- 
 satisfaction existing there. In 1749 he assisted Governor 
 Shirley in preparing and recommending to the king a general 
 plan of colonization and civil government for Nova Scotia. 
 In 1750 the Council made him one of the commission of two 
 to consider the question of the construction of a quay along 
 the shore in front of the town of Halifax. In 1 769 he was sent 
 as a commissioner to New York to solicit emigration to Nova 
 Scotia, and to make known the terms of government. In con- 
 sideration of his valuable services, one of his sons was given a 
 commission in the forty-fifth regiment of regulars. It is pleasant 
 to relate that when the clamor began for the expatriation of the 
 Acadians, he opposed the scheme, in substitution for which he 
 officially recommended the colonization among them of a number 
 of English families, saying unreservedly in his report, " To re- 
 move the French inhabitants would be attended with very hazard- 
 ous consequences, and should be avoided if possible." 
 
 In 1781, at the close of a long and eventful career, during 
 which he continuously filled so many positions of honor and 
 trust, while holding court at Windsor he was attacked with a 
 malignant carbuncle which took him off after a brief illness. 
 He died as he would wish, at his post of duty, universally 
 respected anc mourned.
