Johnson, William (1771–1834) Supreme Court justice; born in Charleston, S.C. He served in the South Carolina legislature (1794–98) and the state's high court (1798–1804) before President Jefferson named him to the U.S. Supreme Court (1804–34). He often dissented from the opinions of Chief Justice John Marshall, thereby establishing the model for recording dissenting court opinions. How to thank TFD for its existence?

For another, White's eye lands in the right odd places: seed catalogue illustrations as a genre; the state of competitive flower arranging (a hilarious matter, in her hands); and the fact that blue lobelia carries the "unpleasant Latin adjective" Lobelia siphilitica because in the eighteenth century one Sir William Johnson paid American Indians for their secret cure for syphilis, and was handed this bog weed in return. |
