propose TO publish, by subscription, a 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 Prvy
Court the Queens Bench, the Exchequer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession assured that this series will be
the most complete of any reports published.
careful examination Of the Jt1ist and Lar Jour
nal for series OF years dscoses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which arc not
found in the contemporaneous reports Of Mccson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger x Scott Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Ldlc Journal
alone, during the fret seven years Of its existence
published one thousand cascs not then else
where reported.
Az to the character Of the reports Of the claw
journal" and The Jurist," but little need be
said In England they are regarded as Of high
authority, and cited with appreciation and re-
sptct in the Englsh courts, and by their most EN-
inent elementary writers.
They are cited with confidence, and autho
rity, in the judicial opinions Of Judge Story, and
other eminent American judge, and in the writ
ings OF Grecnlcaf, Kent, Angel, PHILIPPE, Chitty,
and others; and, for accuracy, clcnrness and brc-
witty, are equal TO any English reports now pub
Iished.
