taken in this city Tor severm years, but their cost

! ton Their value however, Is fully appreciated

| The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, as we Judge, long felt
desideraturn-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions OF all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term 1880; and we observe In the
first number decisions pronounced in w estininster
Hall on the Both January, 1901. This Is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting
Westminster is here brought two years nearer TO
us than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with It,
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much cares and diligence. The former strikes US as
executed very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume but containing
also short abstract of the subject Of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication Is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large for the remark
ably low price of $ 10 per annum We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample rcmuner-
alton for the service they arc here doing the legal
profession
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to he
useiul TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal Intsligencer.

ooDEY,s LADY,s BOOK FOR 1854.
Increase OF Reading Matter!

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year VIII
Il present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands OF the public taste. IL has ever
been the object Of the publisher To take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host OF imitators, who have been constantly
iollowing-"toilipg after him in vain'-are suili-
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises Of
what 10 yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. II is sufficient, however,
TO say that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained and many new ones,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fam-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
tho elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds Of Literature. II is
useless to publish list Of names-suihce 1t to say
that n ave published articles and have others 10

female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January. 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous

thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it is the most
nagnif cent periodical in the porld,
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1882
that the London Arts Union would be proud OF,
