The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-06-14

TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
i English Reports in LaW and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only ia uOlti'ass, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued 1t 10 found that
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapidly
after the first, 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 heretofore, and at the came exceed
ingly low rate Of 8 per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts. In tits series
every reported case Except nsi pyi,s decsions) 10
given in FULL, without condensation nbridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
1t may be proper also to state, that in England
there are regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series vi Reports
10 there conducted solely ia private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it Is believed that Tor
rRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTy-
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, 4Os,) uhers the com
paTafiUe accuracy Of the La,o Journal Reports, and
The contemporanrOus reports Of Manning r Gran
ger, as TO The true plsadings IN I1rmer case ,ous
directu inUoiued In that case Jeruis the Chief JUS
lice Of the Common Pleas obseyved: 'H is clear that
| the plea in Sison Kidman, az reported in 3 Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct The plea, az IL is re-
pOTtfQ IN me f>0D journal kfpOTfJ, JusE
Mer Mauie supposes" 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 Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and FnneIlys Reports in the House
of Lords; E. +. Moore's Reports in the Privy
| Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, Dc
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming. Granger and Scott, and Wesby, Hurlstone
and Gordon in the Common Law Courts; also tho
Criminal Reports of Denson, Temple and New,
and E. w Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Rober tom
n 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 dgcstcd
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest.
The fret six volumes will be contained in VOL Y.
OF the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the
nexed recommendations.
