Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exche-

are ranked among the " most learned and able IN.
rists Of the Kingdom" these decisions have assumed
character inferior to of the English Ameri-
can Courts; and we find Younge X Colyer, Nee
| con & Wesby, Crompton, Meeson & Roscoe, &C.,
&C., perhaps more constantly cited by late Ele-
| mentary Writers, and in the cases argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters.
A similar opinion Of their value and importance
| being entertained by the leading Jurists of this
country, an American Edition cannot but be con-
sidered highly desirable and the subscribers
are issuing it at the very low price of two dollars
and half for each English volume, containing
from 1000 to 200 octave pages, reprinted in full,
in the best style of the day, with an entirely
! type, and bound an superior manner.

opinion of the recent Exchequer Reports. In my
Judgment they are not excelled by any contempo-

cusscd with great care, and expoundcd with un-
which deem of more Importance or value for a
