this country, which attempts to contain AL the
every reported case Except nis prius decision) is
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate tspaolicatior Of the Eagi:h cases:
there are no regular reporters, authorized by

by private reporters. And. it, 10 believedthat for
the essential requisites in any Reports--the Law
Journal and the Jurist Seres, are not surpassed BY
any rival series in England, and they have 'oten

The low price at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur.
nish their libraries with the current nglish 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 tho fountain-
head Of the law, whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several systems, more or less modi
