s1The absolute necessity to the American lawyer
of keeping up an acquaintance with the English
decisions, is we'll understood; and this series high
ly commends ITSELF both on account of the neat dc-
clEate, and cheap manner in which il s furnished,
and the mine of ercetIent Reports which ii en-

A GENERAL INDEX 10 Me fret forty seuen
oolttmes of this series has been prepared by the
Hon. George Sherwood and George w. Biddle,
esq, containing over 30,O0o points OF Cases decl
ded vol, Svo. 40.
With this key to their contehts, the English Com
mon Law Reports present TO the Profession rneas
of legal learning, IN the shapeoi opinions, dicta,
elaborate arguments, &c, &C., sufficient, proba-
bly,, for the eucidation and prosecution or defence
Of any case that can arise In our Courts of Law !;
and being thus made easily and INSTANTLY accese'
ble these Reports will be found so comprehensive,
Convenient and cheap, as TO supersede the neccs-
sty of pthet and more expensive series.
The Index will be fottnd Of gteat value to all pos
sesslng the Reports; and Of great convenience TO
those having access to, but not owning the series.
The NEW ENGLISH EXCHEQ q Err REPORTS
are in 20 vols. and contain perbaim reprint OF all
the Gases reported by Mecson and Welsby, in II
vols. and by Welsby, Hurlstone and Gotdon,
present reporters, in vols. They derive Increased
value from the Notes ana f,yserencesto american de
cisions, appended by Messrs. j. 1. Clark Hare, and
Horace Binney Wslace, esqs., whose labors IN
editing Smiths, the American, aid Whites Equi-
| ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them 50 popular
with the Profession. The o,o price (2 so per vol
ume) at which they are sold, places them within
the reach of every book-buye Their merit recon-
mends them to every lawyer.
Since the re0rgdntSdi diftn of the Courts OF Exchc-
quer, and the appointment therein of Judges who
| are ranked among the :" most learned and able Ju-
rists Of the Kingdom" these decisions have assumed
character inferior TO none OF the English or Anerl
! can Courts; and we find Youngc & Colyer, Nee
! son & Wesby, Crompton, Meeson Roscoe, &c,
/ &c., perhaps more constantly cited by late Ele-
! mcntary Writers, and in the cases argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters
/ A 6iniilar Hpition of their value and importance
being entertained by the leading Jursts of this
country, an American Edition cannot but bcccn-
sidered highly desirable; and the subscribers
and half for each English volume, containing
from 1000 to 200 octave pages reprinted in full
| in the best style of the day with an entirely new
! type, and bound in superior manner.
! We take pleasure In referring to the accompany
ing letters explanatory of the character of these
Reports, and their valdc TO the Profession in thi;
country:

GENTLEMEN In reply to your letter, can with
| great sincerity say, that entertain very high
| opinion of the rccefit Erchequer Reports. In my
| judgment they are not exceled W any contempo

utility and interest. The decided dis
cussed with great care, and expounded with un
common force. | scarcely know of any volumes
which deem of more Importance or value for Q

CENTLEmEN: Your letter of the oath has been re
ceved, in which you ask my opinion as to th'
value of the English Exchequer Reports, from Price
downwards to this time, 10 an American lawyer
and to the expediency of reprintng them in tbi
country OF the high value of these Reports boti
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, hav,
not the least doubt the decisions of this Court TO
the last fifteen twenty years both at Equity and il
Common Law, being entitled TO equal respect will
any others in England | should think an Ameri
caI lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.
