"For the advocate the task is to see the entire tableau in advance so that the court can be persuaded that a particular bit of evidence is relevant and probative. Wells counsels against looking at the part without regard to the whole... Here is a monograph penned to stamp out the effects of too much distilling, too much cutting and paring. Its argument should delight every magistrate, every first instance trial judge, every advocate who sees the light of the law in the facts. It should give a well-earned headache to every practitioner who jumps in too early to conclusions or who likes to fit the facts to the principles instead of the other way around.... [Wells'] monograph is a short, but fascinating work. Take the time to read it..."
