RAPALLO, Charles Anthony, jurist, born in New York city, 15 September, 1823; died there, 28 December, 1887. His mother was a daughter of Benjamin Gould. He was educated exclusively by his father, Anthony, who was eminent for his accomplishments both as a lawyer and as a linguist, and from whom the son learned to speak English, French, Spanish, and Italian, and received seven years' instruction in law, obtaining admission to the bar on completing his twenty-first year. He became a successful practitioner, and was elected a judge of the New York court of appeals, taking his seat on the bench on 1 January, 1870, and in 1884 he was elected for a second term of fourteen years by the united vote of both political parties. He was made LL.D. by Columbia at its centennial celebration in 1887.

In this powerful, historic work, Stanley Yavneh Klos unfolds the complex 15-year U.S.

American Republics. This is history on a splendid scale -- a book about the not
quite unified American Colonies and States that would eventually form a fourth
republic, with only 11 states, the United States of America: We The
People. Click Here
