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 Offered
will enable the bar generally in this way fur
nlsh their libraries with the current English Re
ports, o! which many Of them have heretofore beef
deprived. They will thus have a ready access to
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived, for the
most part the several systems, more less mod
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases ImMEpIATELy AFT R
THE PUBLICATION IN EsGLAHp, A CONSIDERATION
OF TAE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports of
cases decided arc Of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better ]
sincerely hope your encouragement from the ba r
will be commensurate with the merit Of the enter
prise.

PROFESSOR GROUx,S

French Glass for Conversation & Reading,
WiH be opened on Tuesday, the l4th inst, at p M.
1NHE OBJECT OF THIS GLASS is to aid in
i every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire to acquire an accurate knowledge
of French, and to learn not only to read, but to
speak the language fiuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolerably we'll, but do not compre-
bend a word of French when spoken or even when
read, by another. To such persons such Class
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profess
sor D. E. GRoux, native of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may be had.

ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.


THE FIRST YEAR OF the publication Of the
l. English Reports IN Lao aud Equity closes
With the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IN uoiumes and the issue OF &C.
para!e parts will be discontinued. 1t Is found that
the second part Of each volume follows 80 rapidly
after the hrst, that the advantages oil puoilshirg
by parts unimportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style rs heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly 10" rate OF 81 per volume to permanent sub
scribcrs
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England in
thiS country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF ALL the English courts. In tt is series
every reported case Except nSi prits decsions) Ia
given IN FULL, without condensation or abridg-
mcnt and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication OF the English cases.
1t IA y be proper .lso to state, that in England
there are regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely rs private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it lie believed that for
PROMPT y Ess, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, a nd BREviTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
jour nal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any ri, al series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of

the officers and soldiers OF the army Of the

now no longer such in contemplation OF
the law, which is not pretended, and would
be in direct contradiction to the practical
application of the laws Of pensions since
their origin.
In thi. case, if the first difficulty Of re.
ceiying pay aud pension at the same time
were gotten over, a second would occur.
which is, that in all the application for back
pay As pensions, the circumstance Of the
applicant, having remained in the army, or
doing duty, or receiving his pay, is proof
Of itself that the disability was not of tina,
character which entitled him to pension

Thus il will be seen that Gen Scott was
not satisfied with an enormous salary for
life, or during good behavior, but wanted
to bleed the treasury Of the people, in the
shape of huge pension About what We
might expect OF a man who would use the
funds of his poor soldiers, when but a
