A Treatise on Presumptions of Law and Fact ; with the Theory and Rules of presumptive or circumstantial proof in criminal cases. Svo. London. 1844.] The author has executed a concise and well digested treatise upon a branch of the law of evidence, which hitherto had been treated in a loose and inartificial manner. He has availed himself of the learning of the Continental jurists upon presumptions, and his work throughout displays a thorough acquaintance with the whole learning applicable to the subject. . Exposition of the practice relative to the right to begin and right to reply, in trials by jury, and in appeals, at Quarter Sessions. Svo. London. 1837. This treatise contains a very ingenious inquiry into the principles which should govern the determination of the question ; and the deduc- tions of the author are given in clear language, fully supported by the authorities advanced in favor of them. The more abstruse part of the work, treating of the doctrine of presumption, is principally drawn from the treatises on evidence, by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Starkie ; but the author has made good use of the materials thus obtained. 2 Jurist, 237; 14 L. 0. 254. 115
