ENGLISH COMMON LAW REPORTS,
A GENERAL INDEX


The ENGLISH COMMON LAW REPORTS.
BY Hon. George Sherwood and George w. Bid
die, esq
With this Key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present TO the Profession a
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 case that arise in our Courts OF
Law; and being thus made easily and instantly
ccssible, these Reports will be found comprehen
sivc, convenient, and cheap, as to supersede the
necessity of other and more expensive series.
The Index will be found of great value to all pos
sessing the reports; and of great convenience to
those having access to, but not owning the series.
