by parts are unimportant. Each volume will here

The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, eitherjn England or IN
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions Of the English courts. In tt is series

ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases. w.
II may be proper also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series of Reports
is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters And it 10 believed that for
PRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREvirY~
the essential requisites in any RePorts-the Law
Journal, and the Jurist Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case of

tice Of the Common Pleas, observed: "N is clear that
the plea IN Sison Us. Kidman, as reported in Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct. The plea, as II is
ported in the Lao Journal Reports, just my bro
tier Mauie supposss." In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO cAsE IN AMY 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 Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. f. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Councils; the Reports Of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small. and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
ming, Granger and Scott, and welsby, Hurlstone
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
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be dgested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The first 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
nexed recommendations.
