Excerpt from Grain or Chaff?: The Autobiography of a Police Magistrate
The result, I am sensible, must leave much to be desired. I have not even been able to find a positive title for reminiscences so loosely strung together.
This, however, is of little consequence, and may fairly be left to a wiser discrimination than mine.
Let the reader be kind enough to say whether what I have written is Grain or Chaff.
Whatever he decides, I shall know to be right, and shall accept gratefully.
