B the Cascs reported by Meeson and Welsby, in IL

present reporters, in 3vols They derive increased
value from the Notes and RsfsyHessf TO American de-
cisions appended BY Messrs. }. ]. Clark Hare, and
\ Horace Kinney Wallace, esqs., whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, aud Whites Equi-
i ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them popular
with the Profession. The loo price (S2 90 per vol

the reach OF every book-buyer. Their merif recon-
mends them TO every lawyer.
Since the reorganization Of the Courts VI Exchc-
| quer, and the appointment therein of Judges who
are ranked among the {" most learned and able Ja-
yisfs Of the Rfngdoa" thesc decisions have assumed
a character inferior 20 none of the English or Ameri

son Welsby, Crompton, Mceson Roscoe, &c,
| &c, perhaps moro constantly cited by late Ele-
mentary Writers, and in the cases argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters.
A similar opinion of their value and importance
being entertained by the leading Jurists OF this
country, an American Edition cannot but be con-
sidered highly desirable and the subscribers
issuing Il at fhe very low price OF two dollars
and half for each English volume, containing
from 1000 TO 900 octave pages, reprinted in full,
in the best style of the day, with entirely new

GESTLEmEs In reply 70 your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that ] entertain n very high
opinion Of the recent Exchequer Reports. In my
judgment they are not cxcelled by any contempo-
raneous Reports, in learning, ability, or general
u utility and interest. The cases decided dis
cussed with great care, and expounded with un
common force. l, scarcely know of any volumes
which deem Of more importance or value for a
professional library. JOSEPH STORY.

GEETLEMEN: Your letter Of the gath has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion as 70 the
vaiunof the English Exchequer Reports, from Price
dowhwards to this time, 10 an American lawyer,
and to the expediency of reprinting them in this
country. or the high value of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubts the decisions of this Court for
the last fifteen twenty years, both at Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled 10 equal respect with
any others in England. should think an Amcri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with.
out them.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours,
SIMON GREENLEAF.
