STORY, JOSEPH. Was born September 18, 1779, at Marblehead, and died September 10, 1845, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was graduated from Harvard college in 1798, standing second in his class; and in 1801 he was admitted to the bar at Salem. From 1805 to 1808 he was a representative in the legislature; in 1808 he was sent to the lower house of Congress from the Essex district; and in 1810, having declined a re-election to Congress, he was returned to the legislature, of which, in January, 1811, he became speaker. November 18, 1811, without solicitation, he was appointed a justice of the United States Supreme Court, which position he filled, with distinction, to the day of his death, thirty-four years later. From the death of Marshall in July, 1835, to the appointment of Taney in March, 1836, he acted as chief justice. His decisions as judge of the circuit court for the first district are contained in two volumes of reports by Gallison, five by Mason, three by Sumner (Charles), and three by his son William Wetmore Story. His decisions in the Supreme Court are found among the decisions of that Court comprised in volumes seven, eight, and nine of Cranch's reports, the twelve volumes of Wheaton, the sixteen of Peters, and the first three of Howard.

The lectures prepared in discharge of the duties of this position were delivered extemporaneously, and so were not preserved. But there is scarcely a branch of the law that he did not illustrate and enlarge - constitutional, admiralty, prize, patent, copyright, insurance, real estate, commercial law so-called, and equity. In 1833 he published a Commentary, in two volumes, 8vo, on the "Constitution of the United States." Four editions of this work have been issued up to 1889, the original text being preserved intact. In 1834 appeared his "Conflict of Laws," eight editions of which have been issued, the third being the last edition under his supervision. In 1835 he published his "Equity Jurisprudence," a work of which there have been thirteen authorized editions, the fifth being the last revised by the author 1 Thurston v. Union Fire Ins. Co., 17 F.
