   (18)  Statements in Learned Treatises, Periodicals, or Pamphlets (Not Adopted)

Comment

   Pennsylvania has not adopted F.R.E. 803(18). Pennsylvania does not recognize an exception to the hearsay rule for learned treatises. See Majdic v. Cincinnati Machine Co., 370 Pa. Super. 611, 537 A.2d 334 (1988).
   Regarding the permissible uses of learned treatises under Pennsylvania law, see Aldridge v. Edmunds, 561 Pa. 323, 750 A.2d 292 (Pa. 2000).
