Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pocket Code of the Rules of Evidence in Trials at Law The historian Judas Maccabaeus, in a preface of two thousand years ago, has supplied a concise and laudable canon for the task of an abridger. All these things, he says, we shall essay to abridge in one volume, with the endeavor to make it attractive to read, convenient to learn, and profitable to use. The object of the present volume is twofold: to provide the practitioner with a handy summary of the existing rules of Evidence; and at the same time to state them in a scientific form capable of serving as a code. The practitioner needs a handy summary. He must impress all rules of procedure into his memory, by frequent re-perusal, so as to have the details familiar at call. He must also have at hand a concise manual for ready reference when memory fails. Those needs the present book aims to meet.
