will hasten 70 avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves Of the republication Of
Messrs. Little Brown, which can be had at less
than one-ffth the expense Of the original works.,
From Ms Boston Courier.
The entcrprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as Judge, long -felt'
desideratAra-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series Of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The seriestommences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall ON the 30th january, 1851 This is 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
much care and diligence The former strikes US
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
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 $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they 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 fnteliigencer.
