This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

James Jackson Storrow was an American lawyer from Massachusetts. He devoted himself to patent law as his life work.
Background
James was born on July 29, 1837 in Boston, Massachussets, United States, the son of Charles Storer Storrow, the engineer who planned and built the industrial city of Lawrence, Massachussets, and of Lydia Cabot (Jackson), daughter of the Boston physician, Dr. James Jackson.
Education
He attended Phillips Academy, Andover, for four years and entered Harvard in the fall of 1853. There he distinguished himself in literary and mathematical studies, was an editor of the Harvard Magazine, and at graduation was chosen class orator. At Lawrence, where he lived until 1860, he rowed on the Merrimac; and at Cambridge he was on the Harvard crew. He graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1857, read law in the office of Elias Merwin, and spent a year in the Harvard Law School.
Career
Storrow was admitted to the bar in February 1860, and soon made a reputation for ability, notably in the copyright case of 1869, Lawrence vs. Dana et al. For many years he had been in and about the shops at Lawrence. There his strong mechanical bent was stimulated which resulted in his devoting himself to patent law as his life work.
Beginning in 1878 Storrow was associated with Chauncey Smith as counsel for the Bell Telephone Company and its successors in the great litigation in the federal courts over the validity of the Bell telephone patents, which comprehended some 600 cases and lasted to 1896.
Another instance was his disposal of the claims of Antonio Meucci during an oral argument at New Orleans, February 6, 1886; while he was still speaking the opposing attorneys interrupted him to withdraw that line of defense.
Storrow allowed himself little diversion, even in the family circle, though he had a wide range of general interests. Even on mountain-climbing expeditions he often spent much time in thought. Such unremitting concentration demanded its penalty of him. In 1895 Storrow took a purely personal interest in the Venezuela boundary question.
Knowing the thoroughness with which Storrow studied any question, Olney suggested to Seeor Don Jose Andrade, the Venezuelan minister at Washington, that Venezuela retain Storrow in addition to its official adviser, William L. Scruggs, to represent that goverment before the commission appointed by President Cleveland to determine the true boundary line. Storrow went to Caracas, Venezuela, and saw President Joaquin Crespo and his cabinet, who were so impressed that Secretary Olney's suggestion was forthwith adopted.
Storrow's brief for Venezuela was published in the London Times on July 21, 1896. This was arranged unofficially by Olney through the able assistance of Henry White and had much to do with the change in attitude of the British government and its consent to submit the controversy to arbitration.
Storrow went to Venezuela again in 1897 to submit to President Crespo and the Venezuelan legislature the protocol for an arbitration treaty agreed upon by Seeor Andrade and Sir Julian Pauncefote and secured its approval. After his return Storrow went to Washington.
On April 15, 1897, while going through the new Library of Congress building, he suffered a heart attack from which he died.

Personality
Though naturally quiet and studious, all his life he loved the outdoors.
Connections
On August 28, 1861, he married Annie Maria Perry, a granddaughter of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. They had two sons and a daughter, all of whom survived him. James Jackson Storrow, Jr. (1864 - 1926), became a leader in civic and industrial life in Boston and New England.
Mrs. Storrow died on March 9, 1865, and on September 12, 1873, he married Anne Amory Dexter of Brookline, who survived him. There were no children by the second marriage.
