A PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED on front flyleaf: "Sincerely yours, Wm. H. Taft, New Haven, Oct. 16, 1916." Taft's lectures on the history of the legal profession, the nature of legal ethics, and the powers of the executive branch, offering some harsh opinions about muckrakers and their impact: "The opportunity for attacking prominent and powerful men...has served to create a condition we still suffer from. It has brought about a feeling that nobody is to be trusted, and it has spread too far the idea that all men are corrupt. In fact, it has led to the feeling that everybody is on the same level in matters of character, learning, skill and effectiveness of labor, and, in short, that every man is as good as everybody else in everything...."
