vancing demands Of the public taste. 1t has ever
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 CONSTANT y
following" after him in vain''-are sufli-
cicnt to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggess il
adopted by others, is sufficient 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. II is sufficient, however

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations in the
publication Of the "Euglish Reports in Law and
Equity in this country.
The low price at which the volumes offered
will enable the bar generally in this way 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 mod-
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
oascs arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the IMMEDIATELY ArTEa
THE PUBLICATION IN EsoLAND, CONSIDERATIONS
THE FIRST IMPoRrANcs; for. If the Reports Of
cases decided nre OF any value, the sooner they
are in the hands Of the profession the better. ]
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.
