From The Boston Courier
The cnterprising publishers have here presented
10 the legal profession, as we Judge, long-ieit
lesideafu,n-a prompt cheap, aud comprehensive
series Of reports OF all the decisions Of al the Eng
fish courts The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and We observe In the
first number decisions pronounced IN Westminster
Hall on the S0th January 1851. This is unparal-
eied despatch in the history OF legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
US than our own court house. The style III which
the work is Issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with 1t.
The pace is large, fair, white, and readable. Inc
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the and page of the volume, but containing
also a short abstract of the subject OF each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value OF the work The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large oclavovoumes, for the remark
ably low price Of $40 per annulh. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample renuner-
alton for the service they arc here doing the legal
profession.
Such a publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful 10 the profession and profitable TO the pub
