Since the reorganization of the Courts Of Exche-
qucr, and the appointment therein Of Judges who
are ranked among the I" most learned and able Ju.
riss Of the Kingdom" these decisions have assumed
character inferior to none of the English Amer
can Courts; and we find Younge Collyer, Nee
son q Welsby, 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

sidered as highly desirable; and the subscribers
are issuing it at the very low price OF two dollars

type, and bound In superior manner.

Reports, and their value to the Profession in this

GENTLEMEN In reply to your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that entertain a very high
opinion Of the recent Ezchcquer Reports In my
judgment they are mob cxccled by any contempt
raneous Reports, in learning, ability, or general
utility and interest. The cases decided are dis
cussed with great care, and expounded with I'M
common force. ! scarcely know Of any volumes
which deem Of more importance or value for |

CAMBRIDGE, January 25, Ie45.
GENTLEmEN: Your letter of the Oath has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value of the English Exchequer Reports from Price
downwnrds to this time, to an American lawyer,
and to the expectancy of reprinting them in this
country. Ofthe high value of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubt; the decisions Of this Court for
The last fifteen or twenty at Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
my others in England. should think an Amer-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours,
SIMON GREENLEAF.

These series Of Reports are by the regular Re-
porters, and form part of the great chain Of Eng
lish Authorities, extending from the Year Books TO
the present time. The same difference exists be-
tween them and the opposition Reports issued in
the English periodicals. as is found in this country
between the regular reports and the issues Of the
various magazines. These arc the ONLY SERIES
issned by AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane
TON OF THE COURT, or cited, with but few ex-
ceptions, by Elementary Writers. Being reprint
ed without condensation omission and issued in
this country IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR
COMPLETION in England, the REG ULAR or
series of the English Common
Law and Exchequer Reports ia believed TO present to
the American Lawyer inducements and advantages
greater than those offered by any ether seriesof Eng
lish or American Reports. In CHEAPNESS, PRAC-
TICAL VALUE, and AUTHORITY, the great ele-
mcnts of value, they are UNSURPASSED, while
In PUNCTUALlTY OF APPEARANCE they are
in advance OF most American editions. The pub
fishers are determined that effort connected
with their duties shall be wanting to render them
as they always have been, highly popular and sat.
to the profession.
