LANGDELL, A SELECTION OF CASES ON THE LAW OF CONTRACTS, at viii (2d ed.1879) ("Law, considered as a science, consists of certain principles or doctrines."). 3 It is hard not to hear echoes of Euclid here when Langdell not only claims, again, that "[l]aw, considered as a science, consists of certain principles or doctrines" but when he also claims that "[t]he number of fundamental legal doctrines is much less than is commonly supposed . . .[i]f these doctrines could be so
