This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...asked the Judge how it came that a man of his antecedents got into the Baptist Church.

He was educated at the Bethel and Ebenezer Academies in York county. His father was a merchant in Charleston, and had a summer home in York, and there most of his children were born. Like Judges Norton, Cothran and Izlar, Judge Pressley was graduated in Georgia--all of the four at the State University at Athens, except Izlar, and he was graduated at Emory College. It was stated in the public prints after Judge Pressley's death that he was born in Abbeville; many of the Pressleys were; but a nephew of the Judge, Dr. William A.

For twelve years he sat upon the Bench, being exactly what a Judge should be. His character was unimpeachable, his mind brilliant and logical and his learning profound." Judge Pressley's habit of advocacy was so well fixed when he went...
