The enterprising publishers have here presented

desideTGttlm-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, 1880; and we observe in the
first 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

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 and index seem TO 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 a short abstract Of the subject of each case
referring TO American decisions, and still more 10
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price OF so per annun. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-

useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
