About the author
Charles Robert Morrison (1819–1893) was an American lawyer and author associated with New Hampshire. Surviving catalog and library records show that he wrote several practical legal reference books, including The Town Officer, Digest of the Laws of New Hampshire Pertaining to Common Schools, and The New-Hampshire Probate Law and Directory.
His work suggests a writer focused on making complicated law easier to use. Rather than writing for a purely academic audience, he appears to have aimed his books at local officials, lawyers, and citizens who needed forms, decisions, statutes, and procedural guidance in a usable format.
Morrison is also remembered for The Proofs of Christ's Resurrection; from a Lawyer's Standpoint, which shows how he carried legal reasoning into religious writing. That combination of practical law and argument-driven faith writing gives his work a distinctive voice: orderly, evidence-minded, and meant to persuade through clarity rather than ornament.
