ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To tho Legal Profession.
TTNHE FIRST YEAR Of the publication Of the
i English Reports in La,o and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only ia Uolumes, and the Issue of
parate parts Will be discontinued. 1t 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 as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ngly low rate Of So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
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 the
decisions OF ALL the English courts In Il 10 series
every reported case Except nsi pris decisions) 10
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters authorized by law
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
10 there conducted solely as n private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it 10 believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and BREvITY-
the essential requisites in any Reports--thc Law
Journal and the Jurist Series, surpassed by
any rival series in England and they have often

he plea ~ Sison Kidman, reported in 3 Man
Grang. $40, IS not correct The plea, as IL is re
ported in the Lao Journal Reports is Just dsmy bro
ther MGule supp0ses In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they viii
be found to contain many valuable cases not
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 and Law Jour-
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
Of Lords; K. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; 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 w elsby, 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
combination OF legal reports entirely unequaled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digested
in the annual volumes Of the United States Digest.
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. "
OF the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
ncxed recommendations
