Excerpt from The Trial of Theodore Parker: For the Misdemeanor of a Speech in Faneuil Hall Against Kidnapping, Before the Circuit Court of the United States, at Boston, April With the Defence

IR it were a merely personal matter for which I was arraigned before the United States Court, after the trial was over I should trouble the public no further with that matter; and hitherto indeed, though often attacked, nay, almost continually for the last fourteen years, I have never returned a word in defence. But now, as this case is one of such vast and far-reaching importance, involving the great Human Right to Freedom of Speech, and as the actual ques tion before the court was never brought to trial, I cannot let the occasion pass by without making further use of it.
