Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Cases and Statutes on the Law of Evidence This book was originally intended for the use of students only. I now find, however, that it has been extensively used by practitioners, especially at Quarter Sessions, as presenting, in a handy form, the substance of cases constantly referred to. In order to make it more worthy of the attention thus bestowed on it, I have now considerably supplemented it. The chief additional feature of this edition is the collection of Statutes on Evidence, forming Part II. of the book. I have taken much trouble to select all the important statutory provisions relating to evidence, including those contained in statutes dealing with other matters but having special provisions as to evidence. I believe this collection to be the fullest in existence on the subject. I have not attempted to make it absolutely complete, as it would be useless, and wasteful of space, to insert some of the provisions on special matters. But I believe that every statutory provision on the subject, likely to be required, will be found in the collection, except those relating to procedure, with which I do not profess to deal. Some of the provisions given are of small importance in themselves, but they serve to illustrate points or rules stated in other portions of the book. Another new feature is the Index, which did not appear in the first edition, the rather elaborate Table of Contents being thought sufficient It is hoped that this will add to the usefulness of the book. The Table of Contents has also been much enlarged, and is intended to afford a complete and systematic outline of the whole subject. A few additional cases have been given, the notes have been considerably amplified, and the whole subject to some extent re-arranged. The arrangement has been a matter of much difficulty. No two books on Evidence agree, even approximately, in arrangement. That adopted in the present book is the outcome of a careful consideration of all the chief works on the subject. I am much indebted to others for suggestions, especially to the learned writer of a review in the Law Quarterly Review of April, 1908, whose views on the Law of Evidence must always be entitled to the highest respect. I feel the weight of his criticisms generally, and believe that the following pages show that I have profited by them.
