taken in this city for years, but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, have no doubt,
will hasten 10 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 EXP ense of the original works
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we judge, long-fe
desideTGftiHl-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, 1850; and we observe in the
fret number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both january, 1851 This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
Us than our own court house. 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 ana index seem 10 be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring TO American decisions, and still more 10
the value of the work. The publication lie to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of Sl0p per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
Such n publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 20 the profession and profitable to the pub
