Synopsis
Excerpt from Grain or Chaff?: The Autobiography of a Police Magistrate One day my peace of mind was disturbed by a suggestion from a wise and thoughtful quarter that I should publish a volume of my reminiscences, the idea being that, as a Police Magistrate of some experience, I must have had exceptional opportunities for the study and observation of human nature. I did not yield at once to this suggestion, but neither did I succeed in banishing it from my mind. I did what many weak people do with temptation - I played with it, until it became so strong and masterful that I could no longer withstand it. Hence these pages. The reader must not look to find in them anything exciting or remarkable. That is not their purport. They are but the idle reminiscences of a commonplace, everyday life; but it has seemed to me, rightly or wrongly, that they should not be without interest merely on that account.

Product Description
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.
