-- James Wilson, Lectures in Law, Chapter 1, 1790-1792.
"It is true, that, in matters of law, the jurors are entitled to the assistance of
the judges; but it is also true, that, after they receive it, they have the right
of judging for themselves: and is there not to this right the great corresponding
duty of judging properly?
Surely, therefore, those who discharge the important and, let me add, the
dignified functions of jurors, should acquire, as far as they possibly can
acquire, a knowledge of the laws of their country: for, let me add further, the
dignity, though riot the importance of their functions, will greatly depend on the
abilities; with which they discharge them."
