Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exercises on the Evening of February 4, 1901, in the United States District Court Room at Savannah, in Honor of the Memory of Chief Justice John Marshall: Address of Hon. Emory Speer, Delivered and Published at the Request of Chatham County Bar
Judge of the Superior Court, Eastern Judicial Circuit of Georgia, and Honorable Thomas M. Norwood, Judge of the City Court of Savannah. Gentlemen I have the great honor to acknowledge the letter signed by yourselves and the members of the learned andrenowned Bar of Savannah for whom you preside, inviting me to deliver on the fourth of February, an address on the life and times of Chief Justice Marshall.
Believe me that such an invitation from no other body could give me pleasure more sincere, nor could I be assigned a duty more congenial than to attempt to express the reverence I have for the great Expounder of the Constitution. I fear, however, that the continued and exhausting exactions made upon me by the business of the courts now in daily session will seriously interfere with the proper performance of this duty, and while I accept with cordial thanks the honoring invitation, I bespeak in advance the indulgence of my professional brethren.
AS suggested in your letter, I take the liberty of indicating that the address will be made at a session of the United States Court, in the United States Court room, at 8 o'clock Monday evening, the fourth of February, at which the Judges, mem bers of the Bar, their families and friends, and friends of the Court, and more especially the lady friends of us all will be cordially welcomed.
