GoDEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1851.
Increase OF Reading Matter!

TNHE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
l. present many novel features suited to the ad-
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines Of this country; and
the host Of imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-are sufi-
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises Of
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
TO the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions Of the master minds of Literature. II is
useless to publish list of nanes-suffice 1t to say
that ave published articles, and have others TO
publish from all the best american tpriteys, male and
female
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, wilcon-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three q chich are coIored-an addi-
tional quantity of reading by American authors.
There is question about the fact, and the tens Of
thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it ia the most
magnificent periodical in the iporid!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of.
and their price is ten dollars year.
II must be observed that the LApY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. II furnishes
them with every thing that can interest Lady
and among others is the following

WASHINGTON, January 20, 1882.
Messrs. LITTLE & Bsows: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations in the re-
publication Of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" IN this country.
The low price al which the volumes are offered
will enable the bar generally in this way 10 fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
porte, Of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions OF courts sitting at the fountain
bead of the law, whence have bee derived for the
most part, the several systems, more lcss mod-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun
try. And. however modified these systems may
bc, IL 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 cascs IMnEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATIONS IN EsGIAND, a coEsIDERATIoN
or THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, If the Reports of
cases decided nre of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands Of the profession the better. /
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commemorate with the merit Of the enter
prise.
am, with great respect, your obodiont servant,

ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.

TNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
English Reports in LGto and Equity closes
With the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in volunes, and 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 as heretofore, and at the same exceed :
sngly low rate of So 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 ALL the
decisions Of ALL the English courts In Il is series
every reported case Except nsi prus decisions) Is
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication OF the English cases.
IL 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
Is there conducted solely a private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and BREviTY-
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
Crots Us. Beale, % Eng Rep, 40o Dhere the com
pardfioe accuracy Of The Lao Journal Reports, and
the confemporas,Ous reports Of Manning T. Gran
ger, as to the true pleadings in former case
directly incoired. In that case Jerpis. the Chit JUS
ticeof the Common Pleas, Observed: IN is clear that
The plea IN Sison Us. Kidman, reported in Man.
Grang. $40, is moi correct The plea, as IL is IRE
ported in the Lao Journal Rtports is just asmy bro
hr Ma,ae suPposes " In addition 70 the foregoing
points OF superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable 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 Juris and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finney's Reports in the House
Of Lords; E. F. Moore's Reports in the Priyy
Council; the Reports of Siinons, 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, Hurstone
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 Robertson
a 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. "
Of the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
