taken in this city for several years, but their cost
has denied them anything like a general circula-
ton. Their value, however, Is fully appreciated
by the whole profession who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves Of the opportunity
Of possessing themselves of the republication of
Messrs. Little x Brown, which can be had at less
than fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprisng publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we Judge, long felt
desiderafbfn-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lsh courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1885, and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January 1861. This is unparal-
eled 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 It,
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much careand diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
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
ably low price of S 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal hteiiigencer
