It has been remarked ,
that when we find an opinion in a text writer upon any particular point ,
we must consider it not merely as the opinion of the author ,
but as the supposed result of the authorities to which he refers ;
3 Bos . &
Pull .
361 ;
but this is not always the case ,
and frequently the opinion is advanced with the reasons which support it ,
and it must stand or fall as these are or are not well founded .
A distinction has been made between writers who have ,
and those who have not holden a judicial station ;
the former are considered authority ,
and the latter are not so considered unless their works have been judicially approved as such .
Ram .
on Judgments ,
93 .
But this distinction appears not to be well founded ;
some writers who have occupied a judicial station do not possess the talents or the learning of others who have not been so elevated ,
and the works or writings of the latter are much more deserving the character of an authority than those of the former .
