They were to be derived from legal materials: statutes, Year Book cases, forms of pleading. In De Augmentis Scientiarum, Bacon wrote, It is a sound precept not to take the law from the rules, but to make the rule from the existing law. For the proof is not to be sought from the words of the rule, as if it were the text of law. The rule, like the magnetic needle, points at the law, but does not settle it. (Bacon 1857–1874b, 106) A maxim in law was thus like a “middle axiom” in natural science. As Kocher has put it, “it is obtained by induction from congruous lines of cases running through several different kinds of law, and, when applied back to those fields, serves to promote consistency within and between them” (Kocher 1957, 11– 2).
From the late sixteenth century, a number of works appeared which sought to teach logic and method to the lawyer. One example of this was Abraham Fraunce’s Lawiers Logike of 1588, the first treatise on forensic logic published in England, and a work which sought to introduce lawyers to the Ramist method. If the law was “in vast volumes confusedly scattered and utterly undigested,” Fraunce said, it was not the law itself which was to be blamed, “but lawyers 32 TREATISE, 8 - THE COMMON LAW WORLD, 1600–1900 themselves that never knew method” (Fraunce 1588, sig.
Bacon described his project as “collecting the rules and grounds” dispersed through the body of the law. The function of the maxim was to illuminate how the law worked, revealing its underlying principles. He was thus not concerned with the technicalities of the forms of action to be used, or the manner of pleading, but the principles which animated the law. Thus, his first maxim, or regula, dealt with causation in the law. ” But as a principle was not a fixed rule, he illustrated his proposition by showing its limits.
