better style, both for reference and preservation
than under the old regime of public printing at
Washington, which included the annual statutes,

From the Neto York Roening Post.
Little x Brown, of Boston, TO whose enterprise
the reading public has 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
rcs 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 are assured that this series will be
the most complete OF any reports now published
A careful examination or the JRist and Lap Jour
nal for series OF years discoses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which are not
found in the contemporaneous reports of Meeson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger Scott, Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the Latu Journal
alone, during the first years Of it's existence
published over ono thousand cases not then else
where reported.
As 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 are cited with appreciation and re-
spect in the English courts, and by their most EN-
inent elementary writer's,
They cited with confidence, and as autho-
rty, in the judicial opinions of Judge Story, and
other eminent American judges, and in the writ
ings Of Greenleaf, Kent Angell Phillips, Gritty
and others; and, for accuracy, clearness and hre-
yyity, are equal to any English reports now pub

authorities at Havana.
The nonstrous cruelty of the Spaniaris has been nolo

wholesale execution like the deeds perpetrated this year
by many potenaies the European continent, merely
a sowing Of dragons teeth from which armed men will
