Peleg Whitman Chandler was born on April 12, 1816 in New Gloucester, Maine, United States. He was descended from Edmond Chaundeler who settled at Duxbury, Massachussets, in 1633. His grandfather, Peleg Chandler, became one of the pioneers of New Gloucester; his father, also Peleg, married Esther, daughter of Col. Isaac Parsons.
He received his early education at Bangor Theological College, and graduated from Bowdoin in 1834. He then studied law in his father's office at Bangor for a short time, later entering the Dane Law School at Harvard and reading with a relative, Prof. Theophilus Parsons. At the same time he reported legal cases for the Boston Daily Advertiser.
He was admitted to the Suffolk County bar and commenced practise in Boston, continuing to maintain his association with the press. In 1838 he established a monthly law journal, the Law Reporter, remaining its editor for a number of years. He also commenced work on a series of twelve volumes of American Criminal Trials, the first of which was published in 1841, followed by a second in 1844, but the subsequent growth of his law practise prevented the completion of his design. In addition to his legal and literary work he threw himself with ardor into the civic life of Boston, being elected a member of the common council in 1843, and president of that body in 1844 and 1845. He had been elected a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1844 and served one term. In 1846 he became city solicitor. He held the position of United States commissioner in bankruptcy for a time, during which he published Bankruptcy Laws of the United States, and the Outline of the System with Rules and Forms in Massachusetts (1842). He was also engaged in collecting and revising the civic ordinances, and these, in their revised form, were published in 1850, together with a digest of the law pertaining to them, under the title Revised Ordinances, Boston. He resigned the city solicitorship in November 1853, but always remained closely associated with the legal interests of Boston, advising on legislative projects and preparing the revised charter. Endowed with a strong constitution, capable of intense application, and always at work, in spite of his other varied interests he enjoyed one of the largest practises in the state. An expert in municipal and commercial law, he confined himself to civil cases. His arguments were distinguished by their appeal to common sense and his presentation of facts was invariably simple, concise, and devoid of ornament. Judge Rockwood Hoar, a competent authority, said that in his prime Chandler was the best jury lawyer in Massachusetts with the possible exception of Choate. Unfortunately, at the very height of his career Chandler became almost entirely deaf and was compelled to retire from jury work, gradually withdrawing from active business and during his last years being more or less of an invalid. He was the author of Observations on the Authority of the Gospels, by a Layman (2nd ed. , 1867); Memoir of Gov. Andrew, with Personal Reminiscences (1880), a work of considerable biographical value; and a number of legal, political, and historical articles.
He took a prominent part in the "Back Bay Improvement" scheme and devoted a large amount of his time and ability to the advancement of projects for the beautifying and adornment of the city. In 1854 he became a member of the executive council of the commonwealth and in 1862-63 was again a member of the state House of Representatives.
