ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS



YNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
l. EagiiM Reports in La,o and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series VIII
be published only in ootmes. aud the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. II Is found that
the second part OF each volume follows so rapidly
after the first, that the advantages Of publishing
by parts are unimportant Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style heretofore, and at the same exceed
ngly low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scribeTs.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series Of Reports either in England or in
this country which attempts TO contain ALL the
decisions of the English courts. In tt is series
every reported case Except mist prus decisons) Is
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
mcnt, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper lso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and DaEvlrv-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of

ported in the Laio Journal Reports, just mig bro
Tier MauIe supposes" In addition TO the foregoing
points of superiority in thcs, Reports, they win
be found to contain many valuable cases no,
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE IN ANY other
other series will be omitted in this Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurist aud Law Jour
nall in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; e. f. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Councils; the Reports Of Simons, Hare Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts Of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wesby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
| and f. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
| a combination of legal reports entirely unequailc
in any country.
Additional value will alec be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be dgestcd
in the nual volumes Of the United States Digest
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol v
of the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the
nexed recommendations.
