Evidence
Compared with the whole or with the remainder, a part of any
work or system of operations can not but have the same end be directed or at least require to be directed to one view. The end
therefore, with its immediate relations and dependencies – the common
end will be a topic appertaining in common to the topics subject
to the two works – a work the rationale on the subject of evidence and a work the rationale
on the subject of procedure. To This part therefore could not
be refused a place could not be refused in the present work: it
could not be posted off to any other eventually succeeding one publication.
Of parts so two works so intrinsically connected, it cannot
however be expected than in either all mention a reference should be
avoided of to the other. In and between all branches of science,
lines of demarcation, such are the ingenue of human weakness
must be drawn, but it is seldom indeed that they can either
be drawn straight in the first instance, or secured against encroachments
on either side.
To Evidence will be referred what concerns the admission
or exclusion, the apprehension, of testimonial and other evidence
and the , against such the deceptions of which it is to be it apt
to be productive. To procedure, the arrangements operations necessary
and proper to be employed to for the obtainment of it. In
a work of evidence accordingly the source of evidence what
source it be, person, thing, with document is supposed to
be forthcoming: but the quality of it – the weight it is entitled
to act with on the scale, depends too much on the mode operations in
which it is extracted from that source, to admitt of posting off the theory rationale
of those operations to any workwhat concerns the device the rationale of those operations.
