From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as We judge, long felt
desideratum-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series Of reports of all the decisions Of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of .hc November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This 10 unpara-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster IS here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court house. The style in which
the work is 'ssued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and ali connected with it.
The page , large, fair white, and readable The
table OF cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care ard diligence. The former strikes as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
al5o a short abstract of the subject of each case
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
continued l monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price OF s 10 per annuni. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail TO be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal InteHigencer.

the host Of imitators, who have been constantly
