Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Juries: Their Powers, Duties, and Uses, in All Actions and Proceedings, Both Civil and Criminal, Under the Common Law and Under the Statutes of the United States and of the State of New York, 1879; With Forms Sir: In the dedication of this work to you, I am fully conscious that the book, more than yourself, will be honored by the association. The record which you have made as an eminent jurist, as an instinctive judge of human nature, and as a faithful public servant, constitutes a character of which any man might justly feel proud; and while these traits, which are a benefaction in common to the public, cannot be too highly extolled, there are others which shine less in the public eye, but are equally worthy of admiration and praise - I mean those qualities of the heart which have always put you in complete sympathy with the younger members of the bar. To such qualities I am indebted for good counsel, advice and encouragement, and for the interest you have manifested in this work.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Instructions to Juries in Civil and Criminal Cases, Vol. 1: With Forms of Instructions Approved by the Courts Out of the dim and distant past in juridical history there has come, and now abides with us, the Jury System, impregnably in trenched in constitutional guaranty. In civil actions, and in crim inal prosecutions, one of the greatest elements of the contest is involved in the inquiry, What are the Facts? The Wisdom of mankind has reached the definite and decisive conclusion that the determination of questions of fact rests, not with the jurist, but with a body of laymen, possessing no intimate knowledge of the' law, but endowed with the faculties and experience of the common and average man. This body, known as the common-law Jury, is intrusted with the task of sifting the truth from circumstances, the frailties of human memory, the passions and evil designs of factions, and the defects of understanding. This task is made the Function of the jury, _ and the law, in positive and certain terms, declares that that function shall not be invaded by the trial judge. But the Law of the Case is to be pronounced by the judge in Instructions, couched in plain and unambiguous terms. In these instructions the judge is required rigidly to refrain from expressing his own views as to the facts, from intimating to the jury the weight to be given to particular testimony, and from as suming the existence of facts not clearly admitted by both parties to the litigation. To accomplish this result the judge is required to resort to a most adroit and painstaking literary effort, and to. Produce a Charge which will withstand the assaults of counsel for the unsuccessful party in the appellate court.
