Examples
“Paleography might teach⟳ men to read⟳ documents, diplomatics to date⟳ them and to test⟳ their authenticity; but the full significance of an ancient deed might easily escape⟳ the most exact paleographer and the most accomplished diplomatist, for the want⟳ of that finished sense⟳ for legal technicality which is the natural fruit of a conveyancing practice.”
