ssThe absolute necessity to the American lawyer
of keeping up acquaintance with the English
decisions, is well understood; and this series high
ly commends itself, both account of the neat,
ctuate, and cheap manner in which it is furnished,
and the mine Of ereellent Reports which it en-
braces" From Marpin's Legal Bibliography.

rol,unes of this series has been, prepared by the
Hon. George Sharswood and George w. Biddle,

ded. vol 8vo. So.
With this key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession mass
of legal learning in the shape of opinions, dicta,
elaborate arguments, &C., &C., satilcient, proba-
bly,, for the elucidaton and prosecution or defence
of any case that can arise in our Courts of Law;
and being thus made easily and instantly access-
BILE, these Reports will be found so comprehensive,
convenient and cheap, as TO supersede the neces-
sity 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.
The NEW ENGLISH EXCHEQ UER REPORTS
in 30 vols, and contain Uerbatim reprint OF all
the Gases reported by Meeson and Wesby, in IL
vols, and by Welsby, Hurstone, and Gordon,
present reporters, in 3vols. They derive increased
value from the Notes and References TO american de-
cisions appended by Messrs. j. L. Clark Hare, and
Horace Binney Wallace, esqs., whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, and Whites Equi-
ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them SO popular
with the Profession. The Lo,o price So so per vol

mends them to every lawyer.
Since the reorganization of the Courts Of Exche-
quer, and the appointment therein of Judges who
are ranked among the 81 most learned and able Ju-
rists of the Kingdom these decisions have assumed
character inferior TO of the English Ameri
can Courts; and we find Younge & Collyer, Nee
son & Welsby, Crompton, Meeson & Roscoe, &C.,
&c, perhaps more constantly cited by late Ee-
mentary Writer'S and in the argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters
similar opinion of their value and Importance
being entertained by the leading Jurists of this
country, an American Edition cannot but be con-
sidered as highly desirable; and the subscribers
issuing it at the very low price of two dollars
and half for each English volume, containing
in the best style of the day, with an entirely new
type, and bound in superior
We take pleasure in referring to the accompany
ing letters, explanatory of the character of these
Reports, and their value to the Profession in this
country:

GENTLEMEN: In reply to your letter, can with
opinion of the recent Exchequer Reports. In my
| judgment they not exceed by any contempo-
raneous Reports, i'll learning, ability, general
utility and interest. The cases decided are dis
cussed with great care, and expounded with un
common force. | scarcely know of any volumes
which deem of more Importance value for
professional library. JOSEPH STORY.
CAMBRIDGE, January 25 ls45
GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the oath has been re-
| ceived, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value of the English Exchequer Reports, from Price
downwards to this time, to an American lawyer,
and to the expediency of reprinting them in this
country OF the high value of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubt; the decisions of this Court for
the last fifteen or twenty years, both at Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
any others in England. should think an Ameri-
car. lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours,

These series of Reports are by the regular Re
porters, and form part of the great chain of Eng
| sh Authorities, extending from the Year Books to
the present time. The same difference exists be-
tween them and the opposition Reports issued in
the English periodicals, as is found in this country
between the regular reports and the issues of the
various ma gazines. These are the ONLY SERIES
issued by AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane
lion OF IHE COURI, or cited, with but few
ccptons, by Elementary Writers. Being reprint
ed without condensation or omission, and issued in
this country IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR
COMPLETION in England, the REG ULAR or
AUTHORITATIVE VE series of the English Common
Law and Excheduer Reports is believed to present
the American Lawyer inducements and advantages
greater than those offered by any ether seresof Eng
ish or American Reports. In CHEAPNESS, PRAC-
TICAL VALUE, and AUTHORITY the great ele-
ments of value, they are UNSURPASSED, while
in PUNCTUALITY OF APPEARANCE they arc
in advance of most American editions. The pub
fishers determined that effort connected
with their duties shall be wanting TO render them,
as they always have been, highly popular and sat
isfactory to the profession.
