Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exche-

CAMBRIDeE, january 25, IS45.
| Messrs. T. & J. w. JOHNSON.
| GENTLEMEN: In reply to your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that ! entertain very high
| opinion oil the recent Exchequer REPORTS. In my
judgment they not exceed by any contempo-
| ranoous Reports, in learning, ability, or general
| utility and interest. The cases decided are dis
cussed with great care, and expounded with un-
common force. / scarcely know OF any volumes
| which deem of more importance value for
| professional library JOSEPH STORY.
CAMBRIDGE, January 25, ls45.
| GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the oath has been re-
ceved, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value of the Engsh Exchequer Reports, from Price
| downwards to this time, to American lawyer,
| and to the expedency of reprinting them in this
country. Ofthe high value of these Reports, both
the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, ! have
not the least doubt the decisions of this Court, for
the last fifteen or twenty years, both at Equity andin
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
any others in England. should think an Arneri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.
