II may be proper leo to state, that in England

GgSTLEMEH: Your letter Of the 2ith has been re-
ceivod, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value OF the English Eschequcr Reports, from Price
downwnrds TO this time, TO an American lawyer,
and TO the cxpediency Of reprintng them ia this
country. OF the high value of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides Of the Court have
not the least doubt; the dccisions Of hs Court for
the last fifteen or twenty years both at Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
any othcrs in England. should think an Amcri-
