Honorable Justice: The Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes "One
opens the book with high hopes, and as chapter follows masterly chapter
the hopes mature ito admiration of author and awe of subject. . . When
at last Mr. Novick records the death of Holmes . . . he shocks us into
something like grief." -- Edmund Morris, in
