<br/><br/> This volume is a worthy successor of "Questioned Documents". There is wisdom on every page. It is far more than a book of advice of Document Trials; its ripe wisdom ranges over a wide scope of the practitioner's field. Its emphasis on the study of facts in preparation for trial is pervasive. It contains varied and valuable warnings for both counsel and witness. Chapter XV on Court Rooms, and Chapter XVIII on Judges, are samples of original and candid comments, which deserve the widest circulation. But Chapter V, on Advocacy, is my favorite. It is the climax of the book. The rest could not surpass that mark. I would like to have written that chapter myself, only I could not. It should be read aloud every year before every law class.
