Evidence

If the use made in England of the English System of
procedure in respect to evidence had had English wisdom for its origin,
that same wisdom would have bestowed in it an
universally extending application without any other exceptions
than what were suggested by so many ensuing
specific and appropriate reasons: in a word this superior
wisdom, the existence of which is thus assumed thus spoken of in the way of supposition
would have operated with the same regular and comprehensive regularity and
efficiency comprehension as the really existing inferior wisdom from which the
Roman System took its birth. But the multiplied, the
diversified, and in every instance groundless deviations aberrations made
from this ever conspicuous and ever acknowledged model pattern of
perfection, demonstrate but too plainly that if to any thing in any sense
to natural wisdom, it is not in any degree sense that can be can be called wisdom it is not to professional
wisdom that it owes its birth, and that whatever reflection
and industry has been bestowed upon it by men of law, has
been occupied employed, almost without exception, not in the preserving preservation
and improving and improving it, but in defacing it or injuring it,
and rendering it in every instance less conducive adapted to its possessed
and only proper end.
