Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Examination of the Rules of Law: Respecting the Admission of Extrinsic Evidence in Aid of the Interpretation of Wills
Since the former Edition of this little work was published, several important cases have arisen which involved the question of admitting Extrin sic Evidence in aid of the Exposition of Wills, and the attention of the Courts has been pointedly called to the distinctions which it was the object of the author to establish. Adverting to the prae tical nature and general importance of the sub ject, he trusts he is rendering an acceptable ser vice to the Profession in collecting these cases to gether. He has further endeavoured, in this Edi tion, to simplify the subject itself, by exhibiting it in its proper character - namely, as part of a general system of rules applicable to the exposi tion of Wills in general, and not as an insulated point depending upon rules peculiar to itself.
