by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt
will hasten to avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication Of

From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, long-fel
esidsr0tum--a prompt, cheap. and comprehensive
series of reports of all the d. ns Of all the Eng
lish courts The series comb eeo with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851 This ia unparal'
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster ia 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
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, but containing
also a 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
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price OF s 10 per annuni. 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
hshers. Philadelphia Legal fnteligencer.

For publishing by subscription new and
UNIFORM edition OF the Speeches, Forensic
Arguments, and Diplomatic Papers OF DAM
fcl Webster.
L speeches of Mr.. Webster was given to the pub
lie in collected form, but without any considera-
BILE editorial preparation or proper regard TO ar
raneement. Making an important part of the
political, iurdcal, and diplomatic history of the
country, these works unquestionably do, 1t has
for some time been subject of complaint with the
public, that complete edition OF all the writings
Of Mr.. Webster, which he should deem proper to
form part of such collection, has not been brought
out, with notes and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse OF time and changes IN public affairs.
1t has been for some time known to Mr. Web
ster friends that, in the leisure from more press
ing pursuits, he had written notes to several OF
these speeches, and that others had been prepared
by other hands, and we are now happy TO announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition of his works as the public has long desired
to possess should be given to it,
OF the nature and value of these worka 1t Ia not
ecessar for the publishers to speak; both are we'll
known and appreciated well in Europe as in
America. It is proposed to print the contents OF
the volumes in the following order, chronologlcally
arranged:
L. Notice of Mr. Webster's Life and Works, by
Edward Everett.
.. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses various public &C.
casions
a. Legal Arguments-Essays.
S. Diplomatic Papers.
The work will be comprised in six volumes, OF
about FIVE hundred pages each, printed in the best
manner, and bound in cloth. A finely engraved
head Of Mr.. Webster will be given in the first vol
uIne, and his autograph will accompany every sub
scrber's copy. The price will be 50 volume,
payable on delivery.
Two hundred copies will be printed on large pa
paper, and having the autograph, at S3a volume.
The work will be put TO press at once, and the
publishers hope to deliver it complete early in the
ensuing autumn.
