Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood's Practice Evidence: For Ready Use in the Trial of Causes This work, upon which I have been engaged at odd inter vals for the last eight years, is intended for practical use in the trial of causes - a sort of handy book for reference in the multifarious questions that arise in the trial of causes, as to the admissibility of certain classes of evidence and to the settlement of which the elementary rules do not always afl'ord a ready solution. As far as practicable this work is intended to remedy the inconvenience resulting from this condition. The work is not intended as an elementary treatise, nor is it a mere digest, but may be said to be intermediate between the two. It gives the gist of the leading cases, whose doc trine is well and firmly established both as to the rules and the exceptions thereto, and I believe will be found to be reliable. There is no field of the law in which the general rules are more firmly established than in that relating to the law of evidence; but at the same time, the exceptions to these rules are so numerous that there is no depaitment of the law in which more dittienlty is experienced in ascertain ing where the rules apply than in this. I have endeavored in a large measure to overcome. This difficulty, and have drawn largely from the cases and the textbooks - especially the English textbooks - to this end. Of course I have not been able to cover or meet every possible question, but have gone as far as the best class of cases (english and American) warrant, in solving them. The work covers a field which is not, except to a limited extent, covered by the element ary or other textbooks, and I tmst will be found useful as a guide, and as an authority, in the trial of causes in which these questions arise. The index is very full, and will be found to be a key to the points covered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
