Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 87 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““He [the testator] vested the whole estate in the trustee during the life of his widow, and during that time evidently intended that it should remain there, and not be subject to the disposal of his children, or to be seized by their creditors; and after the death of his widow he gave it not to- the children living at his death, but to the children and descendants of children deceased, living at her death.” Page 408,103 N. X., and page 185, & N. E.”
