TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
English Reports in LaD and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series VIII
be published only in UoImes, and the Issue OF &C.
paratc parts will be discontinued IL ID found that
the second part of each volume follows rapidly
after the fret that the advantages of publishing
by parts are unimportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same sizc
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate Of 50 per volume to permanent sub
scribers
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series Of Reports, either in England in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions Of ALL the English courts. In Il ia serics
every reported case Except nisi prus decisons) is
given in PULL, without condemnation abfidg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication OF the English cases.
II may be proper LAO to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series of Reports
ia there conducted solely a private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPrEEss, 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
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts Beale, Is Eng Rep, 40S tDhere the com
payGtiUe accuracy Of the Laio Journal Reports. and
the contemporasfous reports Of Manning 8 Gran
ger, as to the true peadings IN former case,
directly inv0lved In that case, Jsrvis the Chit JUS
fics Of the Common Pleas obserped: "H is clear that
the plea IN Sison Kdman, as reported in 3 Man
q 0rdnR. olOs ~ nor correct. 1Ne plea, as " - re
ported in the LalD Journal Reports just az my bro
Mer Maule supposes" 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 cascs in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
Of Lords; +. +. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Sinons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equityi Adolphus and Ellis, Man
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New
and E. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Rober
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 digcsted
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.

the United States Supreme Court
WAsHINoToN, January 81, 1852.
GENTLEMEN: My engagements here have not
permitted me To examine particularly your repub-
LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and Equity
But, as far as have been able to look into them
they appear to be correctly and well executed.
And il they continue to be republished with the
promptness of the volumes already out, and at the
price mentioned, they will be a great convenience
to the Bench and the Bar and fail to attract
their attention. take pleasure in recommending
them.
am, with much respect, your obedient servant
MIessrs. LITTLE & BRowN.
