been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of initators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-are suffi
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow 1t ia sufficient however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LApY's Book will be retained, and many new on s,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fam-
iy Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.

thousands Of notices that we have from the con-

WAsHINeTos, January 26. 1852


Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication OF the English 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
nish their Libraries with the current English Re
ports, OF which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready acces, TO
the decisions OF courts sitting at the fountain
head OF the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more or less modi-
fed, daily administered by 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 profession in
this country with the cases IMmEDrATgLy AFTER
THE PUBLicATIoN IN ESoLAND, A coNsfpERArtoH
OF THE FIRST IMroRTAscK; for, if the Reports OF
cases decided are OF any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter.
