produced by this obligation,
not necessarily subservient
to discussion
at least to elucidation.
In the character of a an efficient cause of discussion, and
thence of elucidation, the state of narrowness has by some

is any among the necessary consequence result of this state of coercion and
distress: the meeting may, it is true, be to any degree
garrulous: but it may also quite as naturally, at least
to the every purpose of elucidation, be what it happens
sometimes to a Quaker's to be a silent one—of an
sermon to perjury, a talent for public speaking is not no more
a necessary concomitant. [than of a talent for public
speaking, an aversion to b perjury is a necessary consequence.]

and inexperienced comrades. To Against a question put from
the Jury-box the ear of a the Judge was never yet known has not casually, if ever,
been shut closed—among his comrades he can no more
make sure of inclination than he can of ability,
to the purpose in question, equal to what he may make
sure of on the part of the Judge.
