15"A Discourse Delivered before the Historical Society of Louisiana,
January 13, 1836. By Henry A. Bullard, president of the society,"
Historical Collections of Louisiana, I (New York, 1846), 2-23; "A Dis-
course on the Life, Character, and Writings of the Hon. Francois
Xavier Martin," ibid., II (Philadelphia, 1850), 17-40. Of Bullard's
critical ability a friend said: "His opinions while on the bench are
models of judicial rhetoric, brief, perspicuous, and pointed. As a
writer he had few equals; he wrote without effort, yet with a critical
accuracy that defied correction." Ibid., III (New York, 1851), 6.
