A Compendium Of The Law Of Evidence Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Compendium of the Law of Evidence The Author has long been aware that the Index and Table of Contents of the former Editions were too general to afford that ready reference which the hurry of N isi Prius so particularly requires. To remedy this defect 'itn entire new Index and Table of Contents have been made, of such size and particularity, that it is confidently hoped no future inconvenience will be experienced on that account. The paging of the second Edition has also been preserved by a figure in the margin and although a very large quantity of new matter has been added in the present Edition, yet, by printing in a closer type, the Work has been brought into a smaller compass than the last Edition. To the younger student who may wish to read, this will probably be no inconvenience and to those whose experience renders nothing more than an occasional reference necessary, the Author hopes that any small inconvenience which may be felt on account of the closeness of the letter, will be more than compen sated by bringing the work into a portable size.

Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of the Law of Evidence N preparing this Edition for the Press we have not departed from the lines on which the previous Editions were based. We have considered all the cases upon the subjects dealt with in this Book which have been reported since the last Edition down to April, 1904, and have incorporated such of them as we deemed of sufficient importance in this Edition, and have also incorporated a few cases reported since that date. We have eliminated certain matters mainly of historical interest, and have other wise compressed the present Edition, so that in spite of the very considerable amount of new matter introduced into this Edition it will be found to be shorter by several pages than the previous Edition.

Excerpt from The Law of Evidence I have, as far as practicable, adhered to one uniform method of arrangement throughout - that of stating: (1) The rules of evidence; (2) the principles upon which they are founded; (3) their various limitations; and (4) the illustrations to the rules. The latter have, for the convenience of the reader, been arranged not only in separate columns according to their admissibility or the reverse, but, wherever. Po'ssible, in pairs, which present analogous facts but different decisions, the contrasted cases being placed side by side at the same height in the page.

Excerpt from Law of Evidence The philosophy of the present age is founded on a more charitable view of human nature than was indulged in by the prejudices of our ancestors, whose rules of action were often framed in the darker ages of the human race, and by narrow minded and bigoted persons. If, says Mr. Taylor, the rules of exclusion, recognized till lately by the English law, had been really founded, as they purported to be, on public experience, they would have furnished a omost revolting pic ture of the ignorance and depravity of human nature. In rejecting the evidence of parties to the record, and other interested witnesses, the law acted on the presumption, not only that such persons, sooner than make a statement which might prejudice themselves, would commit deliberate perjury, but that, if they did so, juries would be incapable of detect ing the falsehood. A more unfounded calumny upon the veracity of Witnesses and the intelligence of juries cannot well be imagined.
