Excerpt from The Law of Presumptive Evidence: Including Presumptions Both of Law and of Fact, and the Burden of Proof Both in Civil, and Criminal Cases; Reduced to Rules The present work, following the method pursued by me in my Expert and Opinion Evidence, is an endeavor to present the topic of Presumptive Evidence (and incidentally the Burden of Proof), as follows, viz. 1. A series of rules and sub-rules. 2. A series of illustrations under each rule. 3. A discussion or commentary upon the rule and upon the particular illustration, showing the reasons for the rules themselves, and the grounds upon which the courts have proceeded in giving particular applications to them. The rules are those principles which after an examination of all the cases on the particular subject, I have concluded are the law. The illustrations are all taken from decided cases and are, therefore, opeii to examination and verification by the student or practitioner. The commentary shows the rea soning of the courts in the particular illustrations, and points out the conflict of authorities wherever such conflict exists.
