Prime, father of the present editor of the New York Observer, and was admitted to practice in the city courts in the summer of 1835, to the Supreme Court of the State in 1836, and immediately entered upon a large and lucrative practice in partnership with his former preceptor. For six years, he worked unremittingly, without sufficient time for sleep or rest, which so impaired his health that he was advised that the only way to save his life was to move away from the sea-coast.”
