Since the Representation of the Courts Of Exche-

GEsTLrnEN: Your letter of the oath has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value of the English Exchequcr Reports from Price
downwards to this time, TO American lawyer,
and to the cxpedicncy Of reprinting them in this
country or the high value Of these Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sides OF the Court, have
not the least doubt; the decisions Of this Court for
the last fifteen or twenty years both Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled TO equal respect with
any others in England. should think an Ameri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.

Thee series Of Reports are by the regular Re
porters, and form part Of the great chain of Eng
ish Authorities, extending from the Year Books 10

between the regular reports and the issues of tho
various ma gszines. Tbesc are the ONLY SERIES
Issued y AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane.
TON OF THE COURT, or cited, with but few ex.
captions, by Elementary Writers. Being rcprint

COMPLETION in England. the REG ULAR or
AUTHORITATIVE series of the English Common
Law and Excheouer Reports believed to present 10
the American Lawyer Inducements and Adyanta acs
greater than those offered by any ether seriesof Eng
lisbo American Reports. In ChEAPNESS, PRAC-
T1CAL VALUE, and AUTHORITY the great cIe-

in PUNCTUALITY OF APPEARANCE they are
in advance Of most American editions. The pub
fishers arc determined that no effort connected
with their duties shall be wanting TO render them
as they always have been, highly popular and satJ
isfactory to the profession.
