s'The absolute necessity to the American lawyer
| of keeping up acquain ntance with the English
decisions, is well undersood; and this series high
ly commends itself, both account of the neat ac-
curate and cheap manner in which it is furnished,
and the mine of erceIlent Reports which il em-
braces. From Marrin's Legal BibIiography
A GENERAL INDEX 10 The first forty sepen
uoIunes of this series has been prepared by the
Hon. George Sharswood and George w. Biddle,
esq.,. containing 10000 points Of Cases deci-
ded. vol. Svo. SIS.
With this key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession a mas
of legal learning, in the shape of opinions, dcta
| elaborate arguments, &c, &C., sufficient proba-
bly,, for the elucidation and prosecution defence
! OF any case that can arise i'll Courts of Law
and being thus made easily and instantly accessi-
Bile, these Reports will be found so comprehensive,

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 20 vols, and contain Uer6am reprint of all
the Cases reported by Meeson and Welsby, in II

present reporters, in 3vos. They derive increased
value from the Notes and References TO american de-
cisions, appended by Messrs. j. |. Clark Hare, and
Horace Binney Wallace, esq5. whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, and Whites Equi-
| ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them SO popular
with the Profession. The ioo price 50 so per vol
ume) at which they are sold, places them within
the reach of every book buyer. Their merit recon-
mends them to every lawyer.
Since the reorganization OF the Courts of Exche-
quer, and the appointment therein Of Judges who

character inferior to none of the English or Ameri
can Courts; and we find Younge s. Collyer, Nee
son & Welsby, Crompton, Meeson Roscoe, Sc,
&c, perhaps more constantly cited by late Ele-
mentary Writers, and in the cases argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters.

These series of Reports are by the regular Re
porers, and form part of the great chain of Eng
| lish Authorities extending from the Year Books to
| tho 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
TI0N OF THE COURT, or cited, with but few ex-
| ceptions, by Elementary Writers. Being reprint
ed without condemnation omission, and issued in
this country IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR
] COMPLETION in England, the REGULAR or
] AUTHORITATIVE series of the English Common
Law and Excheuuer Reports is believed TO present to
the American Lawyer inducements and advantages
greater than those offered by any ether seriesof Eng
lish or American Reports. InCHEAPNESS, ,PRAC-
! TICAL VALUE, and AUTHORITY the great ele-
ments of value, they are UNSURPASSED, while

with their duties shall be wanting to render them
as they always have beon, highly popular and sati
sfactory to the profession
