About This Item
Cambridge (Mass.): Cambridge: Charles W. Sever & Co. 1900., 1900. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Fair. Description: Royal 8vo (10 × 7½ in): xxi, 1263 p. Navy cloth. · Condition: Cloth discolored, especially on the back, which is also decayed, chipped and brittle. "Burton Edward Eames. 39 Thayer Hall, Cambridge, Mass." is inscribed on front free endpaper. · Comments: Eames entered Harvard Law School in 1900 and was graduated in 1903; he thereafter practiced law in Boston. See Harvard College Class of 1900, Secretary's Fourth Report (1915), at 134. According the "Dorm History Search", "Buxton [sic] E. Eames," a law student, occupied room 39 in Thayer Hall in 1901. For the year 1901-02, Evidence was a second year course taught by Professor Thayer. See Harvard University Catalogue 1901-02, at 546. After Thayer died on February 14, 1902, Professor Beale continued the course for the remainder of the term. See "The Harvard Bulletin (Feb. 26, 1902), at 2". This appears to be the only occasion Beale taught evidence. In this copy, there is extensive underscoring in pencil with a few marginal annotations up to page 250; starting at that point, there are extensive ink MS notes on nearly every page and also lengthy MS notes on slips of paper tipped to pages 771, 773, 777, 779, 787, 795, 799, 803, 825, 833, 835, 873, 877, 887, 901, 913, 917, 921, 925, 927, 941, 949, 955, 959, 961, 965, 1009, and 1021. In the MS notes, views are attributed to "T" on pages 552, 583, 635, and 639. Written boldly across the head of page 752 is the sentence, "Professor Thayer died Feb. 14, 1902." Views attributed to "B" appear in the MS notes on pages 759, 763, 803 (tipped; refers also to "cases put by Beale"), 843, 873 (tipped), 875, 876, 877 (tipped), 913 (tipped), 917 (tipped), 925 (tipped), 927 (tipped), 949 (tipped), 959 (tipped), 967 (tipped), 969, 976 ("B. thinks case wrong."), 992, 993, 1009 (tipped), 1021 (tipped), 1027, 1034, 1035, 1061, 1062, 1085, 1093 ("Beale says"), 1111, 1127, 1139, 1143, 1195, and 1230. Also, a note tipped to page 787 contrasts views attributed to "T." and "B.
