''The absolute necessity to the American lawyer
OF keeping up acquaintance with the English
decisions is well derstood; and this series high
ly commends ITSELF both account Of the ,eat, ac-
cuate, and cheap manner in which it is furnished,
and the mine Of srceHent Reports which it en-

GENERAL INDEX to the first forty sepe,.
U0luanes of this series has been prepared by the
Hon. George Sharswood and George w Biddle,
ESQ., containing over $4,000 points of Cases deci-
ded. vol Svo. So.
With this key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession MACS
OF legal learning, in the shape of opinions dicta
bly,, for the clucidaton and prosecution or defence
of any case that can arise in our Courts of Law
and being thus made easily and instantly accessi-
bic, these Reports will be found so comprehensive,
and cheap, TO supersede the ncces-
sity of other and more expensive series
The Index will be found of great value to all pos
sessing the Reports; and of great convenience TO
those having access to, but not owning the series
The NEW ENGLISH EXCHEQ UER REPORTS

the Cases reported by Meeson and Welsby in II

present reporters, in 3vols. They derive increased
value from the Notes and ferencest TO american de-
cisions, appended by Messrs J. l. Clark Hare, and
Horace Binncy Wallace, esqs., whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, and Whites Equ-
ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them popular
with the Profession. The Iow price 50 90 per vol
ume) at which they sold, places them within
the reach ofevery book buyer. Their merit recon-
rnends them to every lawyer.
Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exchc-
quer, and the appointment therein of Judges who
are ranked among the "mosf learned and ubLs Jhi-
T'sts Of the Kfngdon," these decisions have assumed
character inferior to none of the English Amcri
can Courts and we find YounGc & Coliyer, Nee
son & W.sby, Crompton, Meeson & Roscoe. &c,
&C., pcrhaps more constantly cited by late Elc-
mcntary Writer'S and in the cascs argued before
the other Courts than any other English Reporters
A similar opinion OF their value and importance
being entertained by the leading Jurists of this
country, an American Edition cannot but be con-
sidered highly desirable and the subscribers
are issuing it at the very low price of two dollars
and half for each English volume, containing
from 900 TO 200 octave pages reprinted in full
In the best style OF the day, with entirely
type, and bound IN superior manner
We take pleasure in referring 10 the accompany
ing letters explanatory Of the character of these
Reports, and their value TO the Profession in this
country:

GEsTLKmEs In reply TO your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that ] entertain a very high
opinion OF the recent Exchequer Reports. In my
judgment they are not excelled by any contempo-
raneous Reports, in learning. ability, or general
utility and interest The cases decided are dis
cussed with great care, and expoundcd with
common force. j scarcely know of any voumes
which deem of more importance or value for n
professional library. JOSEPH STORY.
CAMBRIDGE, January 25, ls45.
GENTlEMEN; Your letter of the oath has been
ceived, in which you ask my opinion TO the
value of the English Exchequcr Reports from Price
downwards TO this time, TO an American lawyer,
and to the cxpediency of reprinting them in this
country. OF the high value of these Reports both
on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubt; the decisions Of this Court for
the last fifteen or twenty years both Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled TO equal respect with
any others in England should think an Ameri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.
am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours,
