s and lawyers on that occasion
were later collected by John F. Dillon and published in "John Marshall,
Life, Character, and Judicial Services," 3 vols. (Chicago, 1903). In
volume XIII of the "Green Bag" will be found a skillfully constructed
mosaic biography of Marshall drawn from these addresses.

The most considerable group of Marshall's letters yet published are
those to Justice Story, which will be found in the "Massachusetts
Historical Society Proceedings," Second Series, volume XIV, pp. 321-60.
These and most of the Chief Justice's other letters which have thus
far seen the light of day will be found in J. E. Oster's "Political and
Economic Doctrines of John Marshall" (New York, 1914). Here also will be
found a copy of Marshall's will, of the autobiography which he prepared
in 1818 for Delaplaine's "Repository" but which was never published
there, and of his eulogy of his wife. The two principal sources of
Marshall's anecdotes are the "Southern Literary Messenger," volume
II, p.181 ff., and Henry Howe's "Historical Collections of Virginia"
(Charleston, 1845). Approaching the value of sources are Joseph Story's
"Discourse upon the Life, Character, and Services of the Hon. John
Marshall" (1835) and Horace Binney's "Eulogy" (1835), both of which were
pronounced by personal friends shortly after Marshall's death and both
of which are now available in volume III of Dillon's compilation, cited
above. The value of Marshall's "Life of Washington" as bearing on
the origin of his own point of view in politics was noted in the text
(Chapter VIII).

Marshall's great constitutional decisions are, of course, accessible in
the Reports, but they have also been assembled into a single volume
by John M. Dillon, "John Marshall; Complete Constitutional Decisions"
(Chicago, 1903), and into two instructively edited volumes by Joseph P.
Cotton, "Constitutional Decisions of John Marshall" (New York, 1905).
Story's famous "Commentaries on the Constitution" gives a systematic
presentation of Marshall's constitutional doctrines, which is fortified
at all points by historical reference; the second edition is the best.
For other contemporary evaluations of Marshall's decisions, often
hostile, see early volumes of the "North American Review" and Niles's
"Register;" also the volumes of the famous John Taylor of Caroline. A
brief general account of later date of the decisions is to be found
in the "Constitutional History of the United States as
