"A very clean record and admirable as representing intellect, cultivation and a power to look upon things broadly and justly, is that of Henry Billings Brown, now an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was born in South Lee, Mass., March 2, 1836. He received a thorough preliminary education, and was graduated from Yale College in 1856, after which he studied law for some time in a private office, and later attended lectures at both Yale and Harvard law schools. He came west and was admitted to the bar of Wayne County, Michigan, in July, 1860, and in the spring of 1861, upon the election of Mr. Lincoln, was appointed United States Deputy Marshal, and subsequently United States Attorney for the eastern district of Michigan, a position he held until 1868, when he was appointed judge of the circuit court of Wayne County, to fill a vacancy. He returned to active practice in partnership with John S. Newberry and Ashley Pond, of Detroit, each a man prominent in his profession. In 1875 he was appointed by President Grant United States District Judge for the eastern district of Michigan, to succeed Hon. John W. Longyear, and in December, 1890, was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court to succeed Judge Samuel F. Miller. He entered upon the duties of his present office January 5, 1891. Since his advent in the Supreme Court, he has become recognized as a man of marked ability and one who is a credit even to that essemblage of leaders in the law. Honors have come upon him thick and fast. He was made an LL. D. by the University of Michigan in 1887, while Yale University conferred the same honor upon him in 1891. He occupies the front rank in his profession."
