[151]
The considerations with regard to the
subject are four in number, of which the first has
reference to the case as a whole. For the case may
be of a gloomy or a cheerful nature, an anxious
business, or one that calls for no alarm, and may
involve issues of great or trivial importance. We
ought, therefore, never to be so preoccupied over
particular portions of a case as to forget to consider
the case as a whole.
