To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
494 Some of the litigations which came before him were in the highest de- cree difficult and complicated ; one of the most important being the case involving the construction of the Tilden will, in which the opinion of Judge Brown, declaring the trusts invalid, was adopted by the court. His ■opinions rendered in this court constitute an imperishable monument to his learning and ability. Judge Brown's manner upon the bench, at trial and special term, was a happy mingling of simplicity and dignit...y. His most noticeable personal trait was his entire lack of self-consciousness. He never thought about himself or about the impression which he might be making upon the bar or the public. His mind was wholly upon the case and upon the prin- ciples involved in it. He was considerate of the feelings of counsel and rarely rebuked them for imperfect presentation of their views. When they wandered from the point he thought about the case and when they came back to the case he followed them again. It is simply the truth of history to say that the members of the bar, not only of Orange County but of the entire State, do not expect to see in this generation a nearer approach to the ideal judge than they were permitted to behold during the fourteen years of Judge Brown's incumbency.
