there are no regular reporters authorized by law,

combination of legal reports entirely unequalled

LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and Equity
But, far az / have been able to look into them
they appear to be correctly and we'll executed.
Aud 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 attra.
them.

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: In the prompt repub
LEGATION of the "En glsh Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender to the profession a 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 Michaelinas Term, 1850; aIso,
"CrOwn Cases Reserved, and Cases in the Eccle.
siastical and Admiralty Courts" And the second,
third, fourth and fifth volumes, which you have re-
courts in 1851.
These Reports, like all other works which pro-
coed from your press, are executed in a most sub
stantial manner and do credit to the enterprise of
the publishers. ] became a subscriber for them as
soon they we're found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced, that from THEIR CHEAP.
NEss AND EXTENT OF MATTER, THEY MUST SUPER
sxDE. AT LEAST IN THIS COUNTRY, ALL OTHER ENG
LIsH REPORTS OF LATE DECISIONS.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN MCLEAN.
WASHINGTON, January Is, 1852.
Messrs LITTLE & BRowN: think you have laid
publication of the "EngIish 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
ports, of which many Of them have heretofore been
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, the
most part, the several systems, more or less mod-
fed, daily administered hy 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 profe ssion in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATIONS IN ENGLAND, a CONSIDERATION
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands Of the profession the better. !
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
Will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

Messrs. LITTLE BRowN- Gentlemen: By your
publication of the English Law and Equity Re.
porta, think an important benefit is conferred on
the legal profession in this country. The fidelity
far made, their compact and convenient arrange
ment, their early publication, bringing down the
decisions OF all the important Courts to period
far within those of any Court in own coun-
try, together with their cheapness, ought to be
sufficient Recommendation to insure their general
use. -5- -.t' .r" ~ .E- rrtl'N .ett
