Curtis of Boston, in 1857, the year after he left his seat in the Supreme Court of the United States, earned $38,000 from his profession.^ No other American lawyer before the war probably had a settled practice of that magnitude. The first in Con- necticut to earn one of $10,000, net, was Roger S. Baldwin, in 1862.^ The writer wa...s told by a leading lawyer of New York City in 1880 that there were not then seventy men at the bar of that city, who were earning as much. A few were earning much more. William M. Evarts was currently credited with a steady income of $75,000. Roscoe Conkling who, after leav- ing the Senate in 1881, settled in New York City, is reputed to have made close to $100,000 a year for six years. Lord Bryce, after considerable inquiry, came to the conclusion in 1888, that " possibly not more than fifteen counsel in the whole country make by their pro- fession more than $50,000 a year.* A successful lawyer's fees in great cases are generally overestimated.
