ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS
To the Legal PrOfe ssiOn.

INHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
English Reports in Lato and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IL, poltmes and the issue of Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. Ii is found that
the second part of each volume follows go rapidly
alter the hrst, 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
ingiy low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports either in England in
tins country, which attempts to contain LII the
decisions of ALI the English courts. In IT, is series
every reported case Except nisi pus decisions) Is
given in FULL, without condensation or sbridg-
| ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper .tso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
10 there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters And it is believed that for
pRoMPrNEss, 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
been found more correct. See The late case Of
Crots ps BeaIe, Is Eng Rep, ACE, tphert the com
paratipe accuracy Of the Lao Journal Reports, and
The contemporane0us reports Of Manning + Gran
ger, as TO the true peadings in former case, ioas
directly inUolued In that case, Jerpis, the Chief JUS
tice Of the Common Pleas, Observed: "H is clear that
The plea IN Sison us Kidman, as reported in Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct. The plea, as II IS re
ported in the Lalo Journal Reports, is just my bro
ther Maue suPposss'' 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 will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurst and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. F. Moorc's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports Of Simons, 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, Hurlstone
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 Robertson
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 digescd
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest.
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 l.
nexed recommendations.
