PREFACE.

A work on circumstantial evidence, prepared with especial reference to the needs of the American lawyer has long been called for. It is hoped that the usefulness of this book will justify the labor which has been spent in its preparation.

The writer, in presenting to the profession a volume thoroughly American, begs to acknowledge his indebtedness to the essay of Mr. William Wills, the last edition of which was prepared by his son, Judge Alfred Wills. It has been thought wisest to follow Mr. Wills' plan in its main divisions, and to preserve much of what is valuable in his scientific discussion concerning the phenomena on which the rules of circumstantial evidence are based.

CHICAGO, November 2nd, 1896.

ARTHUR P. WILL.
