ILLUSTRATIONS

JOHN MARSHALL AT 43 _Colored Frontispiece_

From a miniature painted on ivory by an unknown artist. It was
executed in Paris in 1797-98, when Marshall was there on the X. Y.
Z. Mission. It is now in the possession of Miss Emily Harvie, of
Richmond, Virginia. It is the only portrait in existence of
Marshall at this period of his life and faithfully portrays him as
he was at the time of his intellectual duel with Talleyrand.

COLONEL WILLIAM RANDOLPH 10

From a copy in the possession of Mr. Douglas H. Thomas, of
Baltimore, after the original portrait in the possession of Mr.
Edward C. Mayo, of Richmond. The painter of the original is
unknown. It was painted about 1673 and has passed down through
successive generations of the family. Mr. Thomas's copy is a
faithful one, and has been used for reproduction here because the
original is not sufficiently clear and distinct for the purpose.

MARY ISHAM RANDOLPH, WIFE OF COLONEL WILLIAM RANDOLPH 10

From a copy in the possession of Mr. Douglas H. Thomas, of
Baltimore, after the original in the possession of Miss Anne
Mortimer Minor. The original portrait was painted about 1673 by an
unknown artist. It is incapable of satisfactory reproduction.

COLONEL THOMAS MARSHALL, THE FATHER OF JOHN MARSHALL 14

From a portrait in the possession of Charles Edward Marshall, of
Glen Mary, Kentucky. This is the only portrait or likeness of any
kind in existence of John Marshall's father. It was painted at
some time between 1790 and 1800 and was inherited by Charles
Edward Marshall from his parents, Charles Edward and Judith
Langhorne Marshall. The name of the painter of this unusual
portrait is not known.

MARY RANDOLPH (KEITH) MARSHALL, WIFE OF THOMAS MARSHALL AND
MOTHER OF JOHN MARSHALL 18

From a portrait in the possession of Miss Sallie Marshall, of
Leeds, Virginia. The portrait was painted at some time between
1790 and 1800, but the painter's name is unknown. The reproduction
is from a photograph furnished by Mr. Douglas H. Thomas.

"THE HOLLOW" 36

The Blue Ridge home of the Marshall family where John Marshall
lived from early childhood to his eighteenth year. The house is
situated on a farm at Markham, Va. From a photograph.

OAK HILL 56

From a water-color in the possession of Mr. Thomas Marshall Smith,
of Baltimore. The small house at the rear of the right of the main
building was the original dwelling, built by John Marshall's
father in 1773. The Marshall family lived here until after the
Revolution. The large building was added nearly forty years
afterward by Thomas Marshall, son of the Chief Justice. The name
of the painter is unknown.

OAK HILL 64

This is the original house, built in 1773 and carefully kept in
repair. The brick pavement is a modern improvement. From a
photograph.

FACSIMILE OF THE LAST PAGE OF A LETTER FROM JOHN MARSHALL TO
HIS WIFE, DESCRIBING THEIR COURTSHIP 152

This letter was written at Washington, February 23, 1824,
forty-one years after their marriage. No part of it has ever
before been published.

MARY AMBLER MARSHALL, THE WIFE OF JOHN MARSHALL 168

A crayon drawing from the original painting now in the possession
of Mrs. Carroll, a granddaughter of John Marshall, living at Leeds
Manor, Va. This is the only painting of Mrs. Marshall in existence
and the name of the artist is unknown.

RICHMOND IN 1800 184

From a painting in the rooms of the Virginia Historical Society.

FACSIMILE OF A PAGE OF MARSHALL'S ACCOUNT BOOK, MAY, 1787 198

In this book Marshall kept his accounts of receipts and expenses
for twelve years after his marriage in 1783. In the first part of
it he also recorded his notes of law lectures during his brief
attendance at William and Mary College. The original volume is
owned by Mrs. John K. Mason, of Richmond.

FACSIMILES OF SIGNATURES OF JOHN MARSHALL AT TWENTY-NINE AND
FORTY-TWO AND OF THOMAS MARSHALL 210

These signatures are remarkable as showing the extreme
dissimilarity between the signature of Marshall as a member of the
Council of State before he was thirty and his signature in his
mature manhood, and also as showing the basic similarity between
the signatures of Marshall and his father. The signature of
Marshall as a member of the Council of State in 1784 is from the
original minutes of the Council in the Archives of the Virginia
State Library. His 1797 signature is from a letter to his wife,
the original of which is in the possession of Miss Emily Harvie,
of Richmond. The signature of Thomas Marshall is from the original
roster of the officers of his regiment in the Manuscripts Division
of the Library of Congress.

FACSIMILE OF THE FIRST PAGE OF A LETTER FROM MARSHALL TO JAMES
MONROE, APRIL 17, 1784 212

From the original in the Manuscript Division of the New York
Public Library. This letter has never before been published. It is
extremely important in that it corrects extravagant errors
concerning Marshall's resignation from the Council of State and
his reëlection to the legislature.

JOHN MARSHALL 294

From a profile drawing by Charles Balthazar Julien Fèvre de Saint
Mémin, in the possession of Miss Emily Harvey of Richmond, Va., a
granddaughter of John Marshall. Autograph from manuscript
collection in the Library of the Boston Athenæum.

GEORGE WYTHE 368

From an engraving by J. B. Longacre after a portrait by an unknown
painter in the possession of the Virginia State Library. George
Wythe was Professor of Law at William and Mary College during
Marshall's brief attendance.

JOHN MARSHALL 420

From a painting by J. B. Martin in the Robe Room of the Supreme
Court of the United States, Washington, D.C.

PATRICK HENRY 470

From a copy (in the possession of the Westmoreland Club, of
Richmond) of the portrait by Thomas Sully. Sully, who never saw
Patrick Henry himself, painted the portrait from a miniature on
ivory done by a French artist in Richmond about 1792. John
Marshall, under date of December 30, 1816, attested its excellence
as follows: "I have been shown a painting of the late Mr. Henry,
painted by Mr. Sully, now in possession of Mr. Webster, which I
think a good likeness."
