Reviewed by George S. Hillard, No. Am. Rev. 92: 515. (1861.) The most remarkable thing about Chief Justice Appleton is his early adoption of the views of Jeremy Bentham and that school in regard to legal reform. He entered into this discussion with the greatest enthusiasm half a century ago, and has never ceased with tongue and pen to advocate these doctrines. When he began this labor, it required no small courage to meet the scorn, contempt and even abuse of the legal profession. Such radical doctrines the lawyers all thought were worthy of a mad-house, and they were denounced with vigor and not seldom with venom. Now all is changed. In every state of the Union, as well as in England, ancient and absurd rules of evidence have been altered, and common sense has full sway in the most important branch of jurisprudence. To no man living is the credit due more than to John Appleton. Every Other Sat., Jan. 1884.
