About This Item
Boston, MA: Hamilton Bros. Scripture Truth Depot, 1922. Reprint. Second Edition, fourth printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some page foxing.. x, 11-80 p.; 19 cm. In this edition a single complete paragraph was added on page 76. Excerpts from an biography posted on-line: "Mauro was a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and one of the foremost patent lawyers of his day. His repeated successes in courts of law, coupled with his legal briefs, could not but gain recognition, for they were "models of accuracy, conciseness, and literary finish." As such, they were "frequently used by judges in the text of their decisions." Perhaps one of the most important occasions where his legal work was requisitioned was in connection with the famous Tennessee-Scopes trial in 1925. The brief or argument which Bryan used, and thereby won the case, was prepared by Philip Mauro. William Jennings Bryan was retained by the State of Tennessee to defend its law prohibiting the teaching of evolution in its public schools. The brief or argument which Bryan used, however, and thereby won the case, was prepared by Philip Mauro. This was a great victory inasmuch as the defense attorney was Clarence Darrow.
