Excerpt from The Law of Expert Testimony The purpose Which the writer had in mind in the prepar ation of this monograph, was to furnish to the practitioner a more extended presentation of the law relating to expert testimony, than is afforded in the treatises on evidence. It seemed desirable that the law on this important subject should be set forth with more of detail than it has been found practicable to do in the general treatises of the law of evidence. T he cases relating to expert testimony are so numerous and so diversified in character, that any attempt to bring them all together, and give to them that con sideration which they merit in a work devoted to the general subject of evidence, would seem to be out of the question. Moreover, Within the last few years, many and important cases on this subject have been decided by the courts, which have not yet found their way into the larger treatises (in evidence. It was for the purpose of supplying this evident want that this work was undertaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

educator jurist professor trustee
Henry Wade Rogers born in Holland Patent, New York, United States. He was adopted at an early age by an uncle for whom he was named, Henry Wade Rogers of Bufalo, New York, later of Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
From the University of Michigan Rogers received the degrees of B. A. in 1874 and M. A. in 1877. Admitted to the bar in the latter year, he practised law for a short time in Minnesota and then in New Jersey.
In 1882 he became Tappan Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and in 1886, dean of its law department. His administration was vigorous and successful, and at the time of his retirement this law school was the largest in point of numbers in the United States. His administrative skill so impressed the trustees of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. , that he was chosen president of that institution in 1890. At Northwestern, Rogers united a loosely joined federation of schools under separate boards of trustees into an organized whole. He urged the creation of a scientific department and effected the introduction of courses in political science and government. He secured funds for the erection of needed new buildings, including the Orrington Lunt Library. During his administration, the net resources of the University increased more than a hundred percent. , and the enrollment of students was nearly doubled. At times he was forced to work against some opposition, to which he was sensitive, but he surmounted all obstacles and left the University upon a sound basis. In 1900, feeling that he had accomplished what he could for the institution, he tendered his resignation and immediately went to the Yale School of Law as a lecturer. Here he served until 1921: from 1901 to 1921 as a professor, and from 1903 to 1916 as dean. He continued to teach for eight years after his appointment in 1913 as judge of the federal circuit court of appeals sitting in New York City. His judicial career was terminated only by his death, although he was then planning to retire from the bench to become the first research professor in the newly created Institute of Research in Law at the University of Michigan. Several commentators upon his career have expressed the view that Rogers' greatest work was done as dean of the Yale School of Law. His administration was marked by the adoption of the case method of legal instruction, and the college-degree requirement for admission, and by the restriction of the faculty to full-time teachers. These steps, initially advocated by the younger group of his faculty, were whole-heartedly and skillfully supported by Rogers so that they were ultimately accepted without friction by a group of older faculty members at first strongly opposed to the changes. Among these men was Simeon Eben Baldwin, who for more than fifty years had been the guiding force of the faculty. Rogers later nominated Baldwin for the governorship of Connecticut (1910) and for the presidency (1912), and Baldwin recommended Rogers to President Wilson for appointment to the federal bench. To successive groups of Yale men Rogers was a striking, even a portentous, figure, because his classroom methods reduced the most strong-minded of his students to a state somewhat akin to panic. Except as he occasionally employed a touch of sarcasm, his manner was all mildness and his personal contacts were most friendly, yet his skillful, merciless, and persistent cross-examination caused his students to work harder for him, probably, than for any other instructor. When he was appointed judge he had had little legal and no judicial experience, but he at once showed himself a competent, though possibly not great or original, jurist. His written opinions evinced much labor and learning. Besides the law, his chief interests were the Democratic party and the Methodist Episcopal Church. He acted as delegate and chairman at various Democratic conventions, he was president of the Association of American Law Schools in 1906, chairman of the American Bar Association's committee (later council) on legal education and admission to the bar from 1906 to 1920, member of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1910, and chairman of the World's Congress on Jurisprudence and Law Reform of the Chicago exposition of 1893. He was president of the General Laymen's Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church after 1920, chairman of the judiciary committee in the General Conferences from 1908 to 1920, member of the committee on Organic Union of the Methodist Episcopal Church with the Methodist Episcopal Church South from 1916 to 1920, chairman of the committee on international relations of the Federal Council of Churches, 1908, and trustee of the Church Peace Union of the Carnegie Foundation after 1913. He was the author of several legal treatises, including Illinois Citations (1881) and The Law of Expert Testimony (1883, 1891); associate editor of Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia (8 vols. , 1893 - 97); contributor to the tenth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica (1902), to the American Supplement (1897); and author of the article on Injunctions in the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure (vol. XXII, 1906); as well as author of many articles in popular magazines and law reviews.
