He was also, without question, one of the most well-read and erudite jurists of his age. Justice Holmes kept his personal notes in a volume that he called the \u003cem\u003eBlack Book\u003c\/em\u003e. For more than 50 years, Holmes filled his \u003cem\u003eBlack Book\u003c\/em\u003e with lists of books he read (including detailed notes on some of them), accounts of his travels, and even observations about flower blooms in Washington, DC, where he served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932, and where he lived (except for summers at his place in Beverly Farms, MA) - and continued to make entries in his \u003cem\u003eBlack Book\u003c\/em\u003e - until his death in 1935. This volume gives insight into his mind and activities for a half-century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the original text is provided in facsimile, with a transcription on facing pages.
