Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Measure of Damages: Or an Inquiry Into the Principles Which Govern the Amount of Compensation Recovered in Suits at Law
Convinced, as I have long been, that these changes - although attended by the evils which always wait upon great and sudden modifications of existing arrangements, evils aggravated in this case in our country by our tendency to act rather with energy and vigor than with caution and deliberation - still, that these changes will finally establish our jurisprudence on a basis more intelligible, more harmonious, more beneficial, I cannot in any sense regret their introduction.
