Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

It is extraordinary, says a correspondent, to observe the violence and warmth with which the gentlemen of the bar pursue each other in the course of trials and argument, agitated in the courts of justice, insomuch that one might venture to conclude, that there is a peculiar something in the profession of the law, which has a tendency to blunt the usual sensibility of the mind. For it rarely, if ever, happens, notwithstanding the coarse invectives and personalities which we daily witness there, that any further notice is taken of the subject. The lawyers are as a band of brothers cemented by the strongest ties--they can get angry (as the scripture tells us) and sin not.
