or other agreement shall be made or construed as it was originally intended
by the parties, when an error or mistake as to a fact has been committed. A
contract has been reformed, although the party applying to the court was in
the legal profession, and he himself drew the contract, it appearing clear
that it was framed so as to admit of a construction inconsistent with the
true agreement of the parties. 1 Sim. & Stu. 210; 3 Russ. R. 424. But a
contract will not be reformed in consequence of an error of law. 1 Russ. &
