Excerpt from Memoirs of John Bannister Gibson: Late Chief Justice of Pennsylvania; With Jeremiah S. Black's Eulogy, Notes From Hon. William A. Porter's Essay Upon His Life and Character Etc;, Etc The opinion of those acquainted with Judge Gibson's writings, so far as I can learn, is, that his genius was sui generis, and that he came to exercise it at the formative period, the period which witnessed the firm establishment of republican government in America, upon which the war of 1812 set its seal, and in the quarter of the century that witnessed the inception of canals and railroads which hastened wonderfully the settlement and civilization of the continent. In the determination of the new and perplexing problems governing these new species of corporations, which arose during the period in question, the courts of no State took a more conspicuous part than those of Pennsylvania; and from 1816 to 1853, a period of thirty-seven years, Judge Gibson sat on the Bench of her Supreme Court. But whatever his merits, I do not feel qualified, being only a layman, to speak of him as a jurist, and have, therefore, attempted only the humble task of gathering together the incidents of his private life and the history of his ancestors.
