Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Datum Posts of Jurisprudence A Datum Post is a point from which a reckoning is made. Every great structure is drawn from a Datum Post. Surveyors and engineers in building railroads, bridges, dams and canals, make their estimates from Datum Posts and Datum Lines. Every exact science has these fundamental positions, upon which the learned in the profession agree, and upon which their hypotheses are based. Has the law such Datum Posts, and if it has, what are they? Put this question to a number of lawyers and see how diverse the answers will be. Few Indeed will name a dozen of the great maxims or of the leading cases, around which the law has grown. Inquire what maxim was affirmed in the "Squib Case," and what in Dovaston: 217. Ask which maxim governs in the construction of our written constitution, whether there is an unwritten constitution expressed in the maxims and what those maxims are. Law students are generally not trained to answer these questions, and they are consequently not familiar with the Datum Posts of the law. It is the object of this book to place these Datum Posts, in the shape of maxims and cases illustrating them, before the reader. The maxims on pp. 11-14 are offered as Datum Posts, and the discussions in Cases 1-100 are to disclose a datum line which is called the mandatory record. The practitioner without technical knowledge of that record is incapable of clearly presenting and conducting a cause. To illustrate: It is observed that geographers have so written that all may learn the. great divisions of the earth and its great circles, and prominences which are the geographers Datum Posts. It is easy to learn that mounts Everest, Blanc, and Chimborazo are the most notable elevations. Now why can not the great basic principles of jurisprudence be gathered and so set that all can find and learn them? Ulpian, Bacon and Hamilton said they could be. Were these matchless intellects mistaken, is a question this work submits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
