ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.


ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To tho Legal Profession.
THE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
i English Reports IN Lato and Equity closes
with the sixth volume Hereafter this series will
be published only in poiumes, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. IL is found that
the second part OF each volume follows so rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts unimportant. Each volume Will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate of 50 pervolume to permanent SUD-
scribers. .....
The profession need not be reminded that this IL
the only series of Reports, either In England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts. In this series
every reported Except nis prus decisions) 10
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases.
1t may be proper also to state, that In England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series oil Reports
is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters And it 10 believed that Tor

the essential requisites in any Reports--the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct; See re- ne iais case 81

Grang SlO is not correct. The plea, as II IS re-
ported in the Lao Journal Reports, IL just az my bro
Mer Maule supposes." In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
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 Finneliy's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. F. Moores 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 Welsby, 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 unequalled
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. v.
of the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.
