Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Douglas Cause When Boswell was conversing with Dr. Johnson regarding "The Douglas Cause," he received this opinion. "And, Sir, you will not say that the Douglas Cause was a cause of easy decision, when it divided your Court as much as it could do, to be determined at all. When your judges are seven and seven, the casting vote of the President must be given on one side or the other; no matter, for my argument, on which; one or the other must be taken; as when I am to move, there is no matter which leg I move first. And then, Sir, it was otherwise determined here. No, Sir, a more dubious determination of any question cannot be imagined." It is the history of this "determination" which is now presented to the reader by the Editor, and when he presents it, he desires to thank many friends for their kind assistance during its compilation. He has gratefully to acknowledge the help that he received from Mr. David Douglas, whose great age does not prevent him from taking a keen interest in the history of his family. He has also been assisted by the Hon. Mr. Justice Fletcher of Calcutta, in the early stages of his work, and by Mr. George Douglas Veitch of Eliock, to whom he is indebted for two illustrations. Two more illustrations make him thank Mr. Charles E.Green. He wishes to express his gratitude, moreover, to Messrs. Kenneth Douglas and Frank C. Nicholson for their kindly patience in giving him assistance with his proofs; and lastly, he desires sincerely to thank Mr. Horace Bleackley, whose store of knowledge of the literature of the eighteenth century has been so courteously and fully placed at his disposal.
