mass of legal learning in the shape Of Opinions,
Dicta elaborate Arguments &c, &c, sufficient,
probably, for the Elucidation and Prosecution or
Defence of any that can arise in Courts OF
Law; and being thus made easily and instantly ac-
cessible, these Reports will be found comprehen-
sivc, convenient, and cheap. as to supersede the
necessity Of other and more expensive series.

scssing the reports; and Of great convenience tc
those having access to- but not owning the series.
