Century Memorial
Robert Sewell was another prominent member of the New York Bar, who for over thirty-seven years practised his profession here, in which he achieved distinction and success. He was thoroughly equipped for his profession, and was, as every thorough, broad-minded lawyer should be, well versed in historical and general literature, which made him a valuable acquisition in every society of gentlemen and scholars.
