Evidence Procedure Introd.

Ch. 2. Of the ends in view or object of judicial Procedure.
§. 1. In practical work, the end the leading object.
§. 1. Necessity of holding up to view in the first place the proper
ends of procedure.

"Every art and every method – every course of practice, every course of study –
"directs itself to some end." The observation is at least as
old as Aristotle, it may be ever so much older: for it is
made by to be found in Aristotle, for in Aristotle it is to be found.

No observation was ever more instructive: none at least
more copious of pregnant with the seeds of instruction, had they been
duly cultivated. What is given by it as a general matter of fact,
would if given as a counsel been at least as instructive
in that character, as it is true in the character matter of a fact.
On every occasion Every moral course of action has or ought to have be been, or at least ought to have been directed
to an end: whatsoever it be, let it if it has, let it preserve, if not let it assume and then preserve that direction constantly: suspice respice finem look to the end: so long as your you are engaged
in it, in any such course of action – never – for a single moment lose sight
of the end.

In every line of action pursuit psycholo physical or
psychological – it is the in this short hint may instrument be seen one of the few grand receipts – one might almost
say – so rarely is it are they practised – the secrets – for invention. Instead of
looking at the end of the track they are engaged in –
the track which if interrogated they could not themselves but acknowledge to be the proper one
instead of looking constantly keeping their eyes constantly fixed
at that ultimate main object – men look at one another – look each of them at the
steps of those who have trod before them him. Does it happen to the first
foremost to have turned to the re made a step false step – to have gone to the right or to the left of
the strait and proper path? – the next to him does so too
and soon without end.
