Messrs. LITTLE 81 Dnowr. think you liza 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 offered,
will enable the bar generally in this why to fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access 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
fed, 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
this country with the cases IMMEpIATELy AFTER
THE PUBLICATION ENGLAND, CoNsrDERATIoN
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands OF toe profession the better. I
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commemorate with the merit Of the enter
prise.

ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.



THE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
l. English Reports in Latp and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IN uoimes, and the issue OF SC
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 VIII mere
after appear once In two months, In the came size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scrlbers.
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 ALL the English courts In Il is series
every reported Except nis pTius decisons) 10
given in FULL, without condemnation or abrldg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication OF the English cases.
IL may be proper ..so to state, that in England
there no regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series OF Reports
is there conducted solely as a private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, land BREyiTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurist Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See the late case OF
Crofts Beale Is Eng Rep, 40o,) tohert the com
paraiiUe accuracy Of the La,o Journal Reports, and
the contempOrantous reports Of Mannins q Gran
ger, 10 the true pisadings in former case, tDas
directly inpoped In that case, Jeruis the ChiJ Jus
tice Of The Common Pleas o6serUed ''N rs clear that
The plea IN Sson Us. Kidman, as reported IN Man
& Grang. $40, is not correct The plea, as ii is re
ported the La,c Journal REPORTS just my bro
ther 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 willscontain
all the reported cases in the Jurist and Law jour
nal; in Clark and Finney's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. F. Moore's Reports in the Priyy
Counc; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adop hus and Ellis. Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hur lstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denson, Temple and New,
and f. W. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports OF Rober tson-
a combination of legal reports entirely unequal!cd
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter they will be dgested
in the annual volumes of the United States Diges;.
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
ne xed recommendations.
