A memorial read before the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, this volume presents a biographical tribute to Samuel J. Tilden (1814-1886), a prominent American lawyer and politician. Written by William Allen Butler, the text recounts Tilden's distinguished career, including his role as Governor of New York and his involvement in the contested presidential election of 1876.
This memorial offers insights into Tilden's character, his contributions to the legal profession, and his impact on the political landscape of the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for those interested in American political and legal history, as well as the life and legacy of a significant figure in New York's past.
