WASHINGTON, January 26, 1852.

WAsBINGToN, January %, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes IRE offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re.
ports, of which many OF them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several systems, moro less modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation OF most of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATIONS IN ENGLAND, A CONSIDERATIONS
THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided Of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better.
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise. ....
l am, with great respect, your obediont servant

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN--G Gentlemen: BY your
publication Of the English Law and Equity Re-
ports, think an important benefit ia conferred on
the legal profession in this country. The fidelity
with which these Reports appear to have been thus
far made, their compact and convenient arrange
ment, their early publication, bringing down the
decisions Of all the important Courts to period
far within those of any Court in our own coun-
try, together with their cheapncss, ought to be
sufficient recommendations to insure their general
use. EE ..- ...
With great respect, am your obedient servant

GENTLKmEs: / have examined your rcpubica-
ton of the current English and Common Law
Reports and like very much the dcsign and exc
cution Oft. .t
Neither judge nor lawyer can very well do
without the contemporary decisions of the Eng
lish Courts. have found them always so instruc-
tive and useful, that have hitherto read them in
any form in which they have been published
Hereafter will do so in yours.
The Courts in England are daily acting upon
cases presenting important and also new features.
All of us must acknowledge that they are adjudi-
Gated with very able and discriminating nc ute ness
and with great learning.
Wishing your publication every success, I am,
gentlemen respectfully yS JAMES SseS,e" wayH
