ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.


| ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS
To the Legal Profession.
TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
i Hngiish Reports in LaU and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
| be published only ia u0iumes, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued 1t is found tina
| the second part Of each volume follows SO rapidly
after the hrst, 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 as heretofore, and at the same exceed
'ngly low rate Of W per volume to permanent SUBJ
! scrbers.
The profession need not be reminded that this ID
the only series of Reports. either in England or in
| this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF ALL the English Courts In Il ia series
every reported case Except nis prus decisions) is
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper .lso to sate, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
10 there conducted solely as private entcrp prise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
pRoMprNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and DREviTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports--the Law
Journal and the Jurist Seres not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts vs. Beale Is Eng Rep, 4O8 sohere the
the contemporaaeous reports Of Manning e Gran
ger, to the true pleadings in former case ,oax
directly inu0lved In that case Jerpis. the Chit JUS
fics IF the Common Pleas, 0bSerped "H is clear that
NE plea ~ Slson Us. kidman, as reported IN Man.
Grang. $40, IS not correct The plea, as IL is re
ported in the Ld,o Journal Rsports is just as my bro
tier Nauie supports " In addition to the foregoing
points Of superiority in these Reports. they viii
be found to contain many valuable 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 Jurist and Law Jour
nal in nd 1ut in he
of Lords; K. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports Of Simons, Hare, Beavan De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wclsby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts also the
Criminal Reports Of Denison, Temple and New,
and +. 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 ALEC be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter, they will be digcsted
in the nual volumes of the United States Dipest
The first six volumes will be contained IN Vol v
Of the Annual Digest, now in prcss.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.
