The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we judge, long-ielt

series of reports Of all the decisions of all the Eng

of the November term, 1880; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851 This is unparal-
leed despatch In the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer TO
US than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers editors and all connected with il.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes us
executed n very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think cannot fail to be
