Our 'Contributors. FREDERICK JESUP STiMSON,"although in active practice in Boston as a member of the firm of Stimson & Stockton, devotes much time to historical and literary work. He is the author of several successful novels, most of which were written under the nom de plume of " J. S. of Dale." He is also the author of several well known legal and historical works, and is professor of history and government in Har vard University. His new work on "American Constitutions" (a revision of his larger work on " American Statute Law ") is soon to be published. Mr. Stimson was at one time Assistant Attorney General of the State and was counsel for the Industrial Commission of the United States some years ago. We are again fortunate in being able to publish the address deliv ered by Rt. Hon. James Bryce at the Annual Meeting of the New York State Bar Association, on January 28. It is most gratifying to American lawyers that the British Ambassador, amid his many and arduous duties, has found time to give us the benefit of his deep learning and long experience in legal and legislative problems. The Essex County Court House of Newark, New Jersey, is the most recent of the artistic structures in which the courts of this country are gradually being established. We are indebted to Miss Parker for her clear description of the building, and to her, as well as to the " Newark Evening News," for the privilege of reproducing the illustrations in this number. HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE is a recent graduate of Harvard Col lege and at present a student in the Harvard Law School. JUDGE HENRY H. INGERSOLL is Dean of the Law School of the University of Tennessee, and has for many years been a prominent member of the American Bar Association. He is a native of Ohio and a graduate of Yale College. After studying law in Cincinnati he began practice in Tennessee soon after the close of the war. He was a member of the Supreme Court Commission in 1879 and 1880, and special judge of the Supreme Court in 1884 and 1885. He has also been prominent in the Masonic order. JUDGE BLOUNT'S " circuit riding " story, which we publish in this number, though, perhaps, not of the technical excellence of the last, will prove, we trust, an interesting addition to the series which have already attracted wide attention.
