bids, the Postmaster General will accept the bid
for each class separately which shall seem best for
the interests of the Department
Each proposal must be accompanied by and re-
fer to sample of the article proposed to be fur
nshed and the quality of such sample will be taken
into consideration in determining the bids.
Each proposal must be accompanied by sufficient
evidence of the ability of the bdoer to comply with
the terms of his proposal.
The successful bidder will be required to enter
into contrast with two sufficient sureties as required
by law.
Failures to furnish the articles promptly when
ordered, furnishing those of inferior quality in
any respect, or any attempt TO evade the true

cause for its forfeiture

A price, and one price only must be specified for

taken in this city for years. but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
tion. 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 & Brown, which can be had at less
than e-tfth the expense of the original works.
From hs Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, we judge, long
desideratuna-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series Of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1880; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall ON the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
than 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 areand 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.
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 10 the profession and profitable TO the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal EntelHge,icer.
