1829, April
Petition
Supplement.
S.2 Elucidation

That this succedaneum wants much of
being an adequate one, is but too incontestable. In
many a case it will amount to nothing: perhaps in
most cases. It will depend — partly on the importance
of the matter in question, in the conception of the
individual, by whom the testimony is afforded; partly

of instructiveness, nor consequently any greater danger
of deception and misdecision will have place
