taken in this city for several years. but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, IL fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, 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 one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long felt
desiderafum-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, 1885, and we observe in the
first number decisions prom hnced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th january, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reportng>
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court-hou 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 as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
also short abstract of the subject of each
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 ak large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price OF s no per annum. 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 the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers- Philadelphia Legal Intslligencr.

have all issued from their press; as have also the
several works OF Professor Grcenleaf. 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 style, both for reference and preservation
than under the old regime Of public printing at
Washington, which included the annual statutes,
and sent them forth to the world on thin paper and
nbad type.
From the Ns,o York EOening Post.
Little & Brown, of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has so often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish, by subscription, series Of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This Sc
ries will contain all the authoritative decisions Of
the House of Lords the Courts of Equity, the Privy
Court, the Queens Bencb,thc Exchcquer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession arc assured that this series will be
the most complete OF any reports now published.

important are here reported which not
found in the contemporancous reports of Meeson X
Welsby, Manning, Granger Scott, Adolphus 4
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Lap Journal
alone, during the first seven years of it's existence,
published over one thousand cases not then else
where reported.
As to the character Of the reports of the claw
Journal and .'rhe Jurist," but little need be
said. In England they are regarded as of high
authority, and are cited with appreciation and re-
spect in the English courts, and by their most EN-
incnt 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

witty, are equal to any English reports now pub
