Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, Vol. 1 The last Edition of the Treatise on Evidence having been long out of print, a Seventh is now submitted to the Profession and to the Public, carefully revised, and very materially enlarged. In preparing the present Edition, I have been fortunate in obtaining the valuable assistance of my friend, Mr. Amos. On quitting the practice of the bar, for other occupations of a different kind, I found it would no longer be in my power to give that unremitting attention to professional studies, without which I could not hope to carry on such a work with any prospect of success. I was, therefore, glad to avail myself of the aid of a friend, whose talents and professional knowledge are well known and highly appreciated. Of this Edition, I have revised the whole of the First Volume, inserting the cases recently decided, and making many alterations which appeared to be improvements. The section in the Second Volume, which treats of Actions against Commissioners of Sewers, is mine: and, I believe, it is the first which has been written on that subject.
