And when I inquire whether or not the
enactment of this decree is conducive to the public good, dismiss everything
else and watch my reasoning on that point,—is it sound or unsound?

all the issues at once, while I shall have no difficulty in explaining what I
mean. On every topic my remarks shall be brief.
