ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.


~ Inc AC8ai FEOLcb1lOhs
'NHE FIRST YEAR OF the publication Of the
L English Reports in Law and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only ia p0lumes, and the issue Of Sc
parate parts will be discontinued II is found that
the second part of each volume follows rapidly
after the first, that the advantages Of publishing
by parts are uniInportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate Of S. per volume to permanent SUBJ
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only serea OF Reports, either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts In this series
every reported case Except pris decslons) 10
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
Ii maybe proper also to state, that In England
there regular reporters, authorized by law I,
as in this country, but that each series OF Reports
Is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it 10 believed that for
FRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLKARNEss, and BIZ EvITy-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, not 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,) tchere the CON-
puratiUe accuracy Of the Lao Journal Reports, and
the c0ntemp0rd,ieOus reports of Manning + Gran
ger, as TO the true pteadings in former case, ,oas
directly incoiued. In tease, Jeruis the Chief Jus
tice Of the Common Pleas, Observed at is clear that
the plea in Sison Kidman, as reported in Man.
Grang $40, IS not correct. The plea, as IL as re-
ported in the Laio Journal Reports, Just my bro
ther Mdule supp0scs" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they win
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. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
Che Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; uso the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and E. w Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
con, 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 digesed
in the annual volumes Of the United States Digest.
The frat 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 an
nexed recommendations

Letters Of Recommendation received from Judges of
the United States Supreme Court.
WAsHINGToN, January n, 1852.
GENTLEMEN: My engagements here have not
permitted me to examine particularly your repub.
LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and Equity.
But, far as l have been able to look into them,
they appear to be correctly and well executed
And if they continue to be republished with the
promptness Of the volumes already out, and at the
price mentioned, they will be great convenience
to the Bench and the Bar, and fail to attract
their attention. l take pleasure in recommending
them.
lam, with much respect, your obedient servant,

WAsHINGToN, January IS, 1852.
Messrs LITTLE Il BRowN: In the prompt repub
LEGATION of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender to the profession most i'm,
portant service. The first volume of these Reports
includes cases decided in the House of Lords,
Privy Council, Courts of Equity and Common Law,
from and after Michaelmas Term, 1850; also,
"Crown Cases Reserved, and Cases in the Eccle-
siastcal and Admiralty Courts" And the second,
third, fourth and fifth volumes, which you have re-
published include the cases decided in the above
courts in 1851
These Reports, like all other works which pro-
coed from your press, are executed in most sub
the publishers. / became q subscriber for them as
soon as they were found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced, that from THEIR CHEAP
NESS AND EXTENT OF MATTER, THEY MUST SUPER
SIDE, AT LEAST IL THIS COUNTRY, ALL OTHER ENG
LIsH REPORTS OF LATE DECISIONS.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN MCLEAN.
WAsHINaToN, January 26, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: | 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 at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their libraries with the current nglish Re.
ports, of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready accesa to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the
