After an experience of three trials, I would give this advice to every man who has to defend himself before a jury on a charge of blasphemy or sedition--"Write out on a sheet of paper the heads of your defence.

Number them in the order you think they should be treated, so that your address may have a logical continuity.

Fill in your sub-divisions, similarly numbered, under the chief heads, beginning the lines half-way across the page, so as to catch the eye readily.
Think every clause out carefully.

Fix every illustration in your mind until it becomes almost a fact of memory.

Don't write out fine passages and try to remember them verbally.
