Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chief Justice Marshall and the Constitutional Law of His Time Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Association: - I had hoped to have offered you, this morning, what you may perhaps regard as due to the occasion, a written address. Circumstances not foreseen when I accepted the invitation of your committee, have placed that preparation out of my power, and have reduced me to the necessity either of appearing before you without it, or not appearing at all. I should have accepted the latter alternative, if I had felt myself quite at liberty to disregard such an engagement; and if I had not felt so much solicitude for the success of this our first annual meeting, that I was reluctant to have any of its announcements fail. It seems to me that if these meetings are to succeed, we should regard such invitations some what as politicians profess to regard nominations for the Presidency: not supposed to be sought, but not under any circumstances whatever to be declined. Allow me one word further on this subject. While we shall always listen, I am sure, with greater pleasure and advantage, to the elaborate preparation that produces such admirable papers as we heard yesterday, in the address and the essays that were read to us, I hope that the precedent will not be established among us, that such preparation is indispensable. We all know how difficult in our busy lives it is, at all times to command it. I trust therefore, we shall always feel at liberty, when we are fortunate enough to have anything to say, and to be asked to say it, to address each other in the simple unpremeditated style that prevails in courts of justice.
