American Addresses, with a Lecture on the Study of Biology de Thomas Henry Huxley Resumen del Libro

Book Excerpt: wo kinds of evidence, and what is tobe said respecting their value.Suppose that a man tells you that he saw a person strike another andkill him; that is testimonial evidence of the fact of murder. But it ispossible to have circumstantial evidence of the fact of murder; that isto say, you may find a man dying with a wound upon his head havingexactly the form and character of the wound which is made by an axe,and, with due care in taking surrounding circumstances into account, youmay conclude with the utmost certainty that the man has been murdered;that his death is the consequence of a blow inflicted by another manwith that implement. We are very much in the habit of consideringcircumstantial evidence as of less value than testimonial evidence, andit may be that, where the circumstances are not perfectly clear andintelligible, it is a dangerous and unsafe kind of evidence; but it mustnot be forgotten that, in many cases, circumstantial is quite asconclusive as testimonial evidence
