taken in this city for several years. but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. 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 fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The cnterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, q long felt
-dssideratum- prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all decisions of all the Eng
lish 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 il unparaI.
leled despatch in the history of legal repQFting
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than own court house. The style in which
the work ia 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 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 81 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuncr
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
fishers. Philadslphia Legal fatslIgmcer.

almost Of themselves, and familiar for their high
value and extensive reputation to American read
in general, as we'll to the legal profession,
have all issued from their press; as have also the
several works OF Professor Grecneaf. Two very
valuable and extensive annual publications are also
issued by them, the United States Digest and the
Statutes at Large; the latter being the authorized
edition of the Acts Of Congress-, got up in much
better stylc both for reference and preservation,
than under the old regina Of public printing at

and sent them forth to the world on thin paper and
in bad type.
From the Ns,o York Evening Post.
Little & Brown, of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has 80 often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish, by subscription, new series of
the English Reports in Law and Equity This
ries will contain all the authoritative decisions of
the House of Lords, the Courts Of Equity, the Privy
Court, the Queens Bench the Exchcquer, Common
Pleas, sc.
The profession are assured that this series will be
the most complete of any reports now published.
careful examination Of the Jurisf and Ldsc Jour-
nal for series Of years discloses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which are not
found in the contcmporaneous reports OF Meeson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger & Scott, Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Lao Journal
alone, during the first years Of its existence,
published over one thousand not then else
where reported.
As to the character of the reports of the "Law
Journal and ''Ihc Jurist," but little need be
said. In England they are regarded az of high
authority, and are cited with appreciation and re-
spect in the English courts, and by their most EN-
inent elementary writer's.
They are cited with confidence, and as autho-
rity, in the judicial opinions of Judge Story, and
other eminent American judges. and in the writ
ings Of Grecncaf, Kent, Angel, Phillips, Chitty,
and others; and, for accuracy, clcarncss and bre-
witty, are equal to any English reports now pub
