Abstract
“IN developing the consequences of any valid general principle in individual cases, one constantly comes on new and quite unexpected surprises. And as the consequences are not arbitrary, nor contingent on the caprice of the author, I have often the impression that it is not my own work that I am writing out, but some one else's.”HERMANN v. HELMHOLTZ.
