STORY

III.226.1

STORY, Joseph, was born at Marblehead, Mass., Sept. 18, 1779, and died at Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 10, 1845. He was graduated at Harvard in 1798, and was admitted to the bar in 1801. He served as a democratic congressman 1808-9, and in 1811 was appointed associate justice of the supreme court. In his judicial work he was the founder of admiralty jurisprudence in the United States; and, in conjunction with Chief Justice Marshall, was instrumental in securing recognition for the national existence of the United States by the supreme court. (See NATION, II.; JUDICIARY.) This latter part of his work he put into form in 1833 in his "Commentaries on the Constitution."

—See Story's Life and Letters of Story; Story's Miscellaneous Works; 2 Webster's Works, 297; Story's commentaries on the constitution; and his decisions in Cranch's, Wheaton's and Peters' Reports, and Gallison's, Manson's, Sumner's and Story's Reports (circuit).
