ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
TO In. Legal profession.

rVNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
Il English Reports IN LaD and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series viii
be published only in uoIunes, and the issue OF ae
parate parts will be discontinued. Ii ls 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 same exceed :
ingly low rate Of ~ 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 the English courts. In Il is les
every reported case Except nsi prius decisons) 10
given in FULL, without condensation or abrdg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper ,lso to state, that in Engla nd
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each scries of Reports
ia there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRomPTNEss, ACCURACY, CLEANLINESS, and BREvITY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-thc Law
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late Of

points Of superiority in these Reports, they viii
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 Jurst and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Si,nons, Hare, Beavan, De

and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison Temple and New
and E. W. Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson =
a combination Of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this seric:
from the fact that hereafter, they will be digestcd
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The frat six volumes will be contained in Vol V
of the Annual Digest now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
