taken in this city for several years. but their cost
has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves Of the opportunity
Of possessing themselves Of the republication of
Messrs Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one-tilth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession as we judge, long-telt
desideTatum-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 30th 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 II!
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much oarea and diligence. The former strikes US as
executed on a very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also a short abstract of the subject of each CAGE
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication ia TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors aud publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, think, cannot fail TO be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
fishers. Philadelphia Legal Intelligener.
