Excerpt from The Care of Estates, Practical Questions and Plain Answers Concerning To obtain information it is necessary not only to ask questions, but also to know what questions to ask. Sometimes the inquiry which sounds too sim ple is the very one which ought to be propounded. This catechism (largely suggested by the repeated inquiries of clients) does not pretend to add any thing to the sum total of legal knowledge, or to ex haust the subjects touched upon. It does not aim to raise nice legal points, but merely to rehearse, in a simple manner, well-settled ones. Neither does it attempt to make laymen their own lawyers. The layman who essays to manage an es tate without legal advice will sooner or later surely come to grief. The main purpose of these questions and answers is to direct the inquiries of Executors and like officials into proper channels, and to afford a working knowledge of the everyday duties and dangers of their Trust.

Excerpt from The Accomplice So much by way of prelude, and more than enough for pages which must justify themselves. The office of foreman in the People vs. Emory certainly sought the man. But though it sought him diligently and vigorously, two entire panels were exhausted before it came to me as the reward of ignorance and innocence. Had I known what was in store for me I should certainly have read the news papers and disqualified myself, as others did, by assert ing an unalterable opinion concerning the guilt or innocence of the accused. Unfortunately, however, I was the first victim selected from the third panel; I had not been present when the other candidates were examined, and I had never heard of the Shaw murder before I entered the court-room.

historian lawyer military Soldier writer
Frederick Trevor Hill was born on May 5, 1866 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. He was the son of Edward and Mary (Johnson) Hill. His parents were both natives of England.
Hill completed his preparatory studies at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and later entered Yale in the class of 1887 and following his graduation studied law at Columbia.
Hill served for two years as clerk to Colonel Robert Ingersoll and from 1890 to 1900 was a member of the law firm of Wood & Hill. In the latter year he began his independent law practice, which, covering a period of thirty years.
His legal career was temporarily interrupted by his military activities during the World War, when as a member of General Pershing's staff he served with conspicuous distinction, being promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
During the later years of his life he was preeminently identified with the Boy-Scout movement. Hill's legal training and ability are evidenced in such technical and professional studies as The Care of Estates (1901) and Decisive Battles of the Law (1907). To a wider circle of readers he is known as the author of various stories and novels with a legal background: The Case and Exceptions (1900); The Minority (1902); The Web (1903); and other works. But it is in an extended study of Abraham Lincoln that Hill has made his outstanding contribution as an author. Struck by the fact that in the vast amount of material dealing with Lincoln there was such a small proportion devoted to his legal career, Hill undertook an appraisal of Lincoln as a lawyer, with a view to showing that this alone, apart from all other considerations, would guarantee his permanent fame. Lincoln, the Lawyer (1906) interprets with sympathy and insight the significant features of Lincoln's twenty-three years of law practice. This work was followed by a collection of essays called Lincoln's Legacy of Inspiration (1909), and a biography, Lincoln, the Emancipator of the Nation (1928). The latter is a good, short biography, but it is marred by the somewhat gratuitous expense of energy on the part of the author to demonstrate that Lincoln was not a consistent Abolitionist.
Hill also wrote a number of less significant historical works: On the Trail of Washington (1910), Washington, the Man of Action (1914), and On the Trail of Grant and Lee (1911)--all distinguished for clear and easy interpretation rather than for original research. The Story of a Street (1908) recounts the historical development of Wall Street and contains items of interest to the student of the history of New York City.
Hill was known for his activities in different professional fields. As a lawyer, he established his reputation as an authority in the fields of surrogate's practice and estate and business law. He was appointed Chevalier in the Legion of Honor as a special recognition of his merit the World War. He is also known as a prolific writer of stories, novels, legal and historical works.
