John Marshall served in Congress in 1898 and 1899 and, as elsewhere, he was a leader there. Then, he became Secretary of State and after a year of ser- vice was appointed Chief Justice. In 1831, Marshall’s usually robust body was struck by disease and though he recovered from several operations, his strength was gone never to return and he died in Philadelphia, July 6th, 1835. Then, as now, the passing of a great man was mourned. Then, as now, there were critics, prompted by uncertain and questionable motives, who lifted the shroud to besmirch a proud record. But now, as then, there are more who believe, than disbelieve, that John Marshall’s life and works will forever stand out as beacons of the sea of jurisprudence.
