Overview

Excerpt from Forensic Speeches: Selected From Important Trials Although a volume, possessing the main features of the present one, was in contemplation at the time of Mr. Brown's death, it is a subject of regret to the compiler, which will perhaps be shared by the reader, that the selections embraced in the following pages, were not in any way indicated by the deceased. That responsibility, therefore, rests wholly with the Editor and if these selections do not appear always the most worthy of the orator or the reader, the blame should attach where it properly belongs. N o excuse can be necessary for this self-imposed task yet, if one were needed, it might be found in an earnest desire to revive in some degree that love of eloquence which more particularly characterized the earlier days of the Philadelphia Bar, and made the name of a Phila delphia Lawyer proverbially synonymous with the high est excellencies of the profession.
