Extract
It is a very difficult matter for me to deliver any remarks whatever to so learned an audience. I had not myself the advantage of a University education, and most of the people whom I had to address during my judicial career were at the same disadvantage as myself. But I did, somehow or another, pass a considerable time either in prosecuting people, all of whom were guilty, or in defending people, nearly all of whom were guilty—I say that as one who really knew. So when I was asked if I would speak to you this evening I thought I would not speak in Greek or Latin, to which you are so thoroughly accustomed, but that I would speak to you about something which if I do not understand better than all of you do, it is, at all events, my own fault. So I thought I would speak on criminal cases, on how to prosecute and how to defend.
