Napoleon. Coat Of NAL befor. N.po-
leon set out for Belgium, he sent for the ceyeEest
artisan Of his Glass in Paris, and demanded Of him
whether he would engage to make q coat Of mail
q be worn under the ordinary military dress, which
should be absolutely bulletproof and that il 90, he
might name his own price Tor such a work. The.
man engaged to make the desired obi .st, ifniowed
proper time, and he named eighteen thousand
francs q tho price Of it. The bargain was con-
ciuded, and in due time the work was produced,
and the artisan hohored with second audience Of
the Emperor. /" Now, ''said his Imperial Majesty,

a. brace Of -pistols.' and prepared to discharge
Of them At the breast Of the as,onished artist
There was no retreating, however, and half dead
with fear he stood the fire, and with infinite credi,
to his work, with perfect impunity. But the EN-
peror was not content with one trial He fred the
second pistol at the back Of the artist and after
wards discharged fowling-piece at another part
Of him, with . similar effect. WE'LL" said the
Emperor, You have produced capital work IN.

thousand francs were named ~ the sum agreed
upon. There is an order for thsm," said the

taken in this city for several years. but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, 10 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 mt lcss
than one fifth the expense Of the original works.
From, the Boston Courier.
The cntexprising pubishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long felt
desiderGtun-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions Of all the Eng
iish courts. The series commences 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 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 10 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 as
executed 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 = 10 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 Lnfelligncer.

PROPOSALS

For publishing by subscription q new and
uniform edition OF the Speeches, Forensic
Arguments, and Diplomatic Papers fDan-
Tel Webster.
j. 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
rangement. Making important part OF the
POLITICAL iuridical, and diplomatic history of the
country, these works PROFESSIONALLY do, 1t has
for some time been a 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 come time known TO Mr.. Web
ster's 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 the public has long desired
to possess should be given to it.
Of the nature and value of these works il ia not
necessary for the publishers to speak; both are we'll
known and appreciated as well in Europe as in
America. 1t ia proposed to print the contents OF
the volumes in the following order, chronologcally
arranged:
I. Notice of Mr. Webster's Life and Works, by
Edward Exerett.
2. Speeches and Discussions in Congress-
8. Oraiions and Addresses on various public &C.
caEions.
4. Legal Arguments-Essays.
3. 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. finely engraved
head Of Mr. Webster will be given in the first vol
ume, and his autograph will accompany every sub
scriber's copy. The price will be 50 a 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.
