Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes to Phillipps´ Treatise on the Law of Evidence, Vol. 1: With Additional Notes and References to the English and American Cases, to the Present Time Since the publication of the last American edition of Phillipps on Evidence, with Cowen Hills Notes, Mr. Phillipps, (profiting by the labors of his American editors,) has published a new and greatly improved edition of that part of his Treatise which relates to the general rules of evidence. The text of this work is a reprint of Mr. Phillipps´ last edition. A large portion of it has been re-written, its arrangement materially altered, and several new heads added. The alterations made by him in the arrangement of the text have required a corresponding change in the arrangement of the notes. Although a task of great labor, that requirement has been met. The principal duty of the American editor, shortly stated, was, to indicate the alterations made in the law of evidence, since the last edition was published. This he has labored diligently to accomplish; and he indulges the belief, that no case, material to this purpose, has been overlooked or omitted. A vast number of decisions upon points in the law of evidence, have been made, by the English and American courts, within the last ten years, but only a small number of them have involved anything really new. These had to be carefully sifted, that the few grains of wheat might be separated from the many bushels of chaff The work was not designed to be either an abridgment or a digest, but an elementary exposition of the law of evidence, with copious practical illustrations drawn from the adjudged cases. It has been the anxious wish of the editor, (as of the publishers,) to avoid unnecessarily increasing the bulk of a work already voluminous, but, at the same time, to omit nothing that would essentially increase its usefulness and value. In the execution of this task, it has been his aim, where the law had been altered, to indicate the alteration; where a point was in doubt, to bring forward any recent adjudication that would tend to clear it up; and where a judgment was remarkable for its learning, or expounded a rule with uncommon force, to note the case, although the point adjudged was not new. And he has, generally omitted to cite those cases, (and they are very numerous,) which were not admissible in one of these aspects.
