Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Some of the Early Settlers of the City of Chicago To write a sketch of some living men which would be truthful and at the same time readable, which shall present their virtues in due relation to their faults, and as relieved by them, without injustice to the feelings of the parties concerned, is not an easy matter. Some men are, like the head of a certain statesman, of which the phrenologist could make nothing, because he could find no "bump" about it - it was symmetrically smooth in every part - while others exhibit such decided traits of character, that inequalities are a matter of necessity. Their virtues and their failings alike exhibit themselves decidedly, and in natural correspondence with each other. Mr. Brown, the subject of this sketch, is a man of marked and decided traits. What he knows, he knows; what he says, he means; and whatever subject comes before him elicits, without delay, a plump and square opinion. Such men must of necessity cross somebody's track, in the course of their lives, and will come to be somewhat differently regarded by different classes of people. While, therefore, this sketch will endeavor to set forth Mr. Brown as he is, as far as it goes, it cannot of course enter upon such a discussion as would be called for were he not yet moving among us. Mr. Brown is a native of the State of Connecticut, and was born about the beginning of the nineteenth century. His father was a native of Rhode Island; his profession was that of the law, which he practiced for some twenty-five years, at Auburn, N.Y., with decided talent and success, and then removed to the City of New York, where, a few years since, he died. The son William, gained his education, as many young men of his time were accustomed to do, while the country was not as well supplied with schools of a high grade as at present, partly in the office of his father, and at various schools; but not extending it in youth, far beyond what are considered good business acquirements. He studied law with his father, and then engaged in its practice with him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
