Pennsylvania Attorney General from (1869 – 1872). Former Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, former Attorney-General of Pennsylvania, and one of the leaders

Select School, at Fourth and Arch streets. There he was carefully trained and prepared for
college at the University of Pennsylvania. The young student displayed wonderful industry and aptness
for learning whatever was taught him, until in 1841, when, just about sixteen
years of age, he graduated with all the honors of the institution, making a
public address at the commencement. Judge Brewster maintained an active relationship with the University
of Pennsylvania. He was for several years president of the Society of the
Alumni.
