Book Description

Excerpt from The Law of Nisi Prius: Being Reports of Cases Determined at Nisi Prius, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, With Notes and Commentaries on Each Case This may snmce as an answer to all objections to that which may be denominated regular reporting. Cases at Nah: Pn'us, however, may be considered by some as not en titled to the protection of these considerations, and that consequently the objection remains to their multiplication. It is true, as a general rule, that these reports do not reach the dignity of precedents; nevertheless, the honor they have often received, added to their vivid and highly dra matic character, has led to their extensive introduction in that country to whose wisdom, in the law, we most justly defer. A few commendatory notices, from great legal minds, may sathoe as an apology, at least, for the publica tion of an improved and enlarged edition of the only work of the kind which has been attempted in the United States.
