Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: | 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 are offered
willenable 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 a ready acces, to
the decisions OF courts sitting at the fountain
head Of the law. whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems more or less modi-
ned, 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
THE country with the cnses ImmEpIATELv AFTER

OF THE rIasT inroRTAscE; for, IL the Reports Of
