The NEW ENGLISH EXCHEQ UER REPORTS
arc in 20 yols and contain uerbatim reprint of all
the Cases reported by Meeson and Welsby, in II
vols, and by Wesby, Hurlstonc, and Gordon,
value from the Notes and Il eterencssto Amercan de-
cisiOtls, appended by Messrs j. |. Clark Hare and
Horace Binney Wallace, esqs., whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, and Whites Euui-
ty, Leading Cases, have rendered them SO popular
with the Profession The loic price (S2 so per VOL
ume) at which they sold, places them within
the reach of every book buyer Their merit recon-
mends them to every lawyer.
Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exche-
quer, and the appointment therein of Judges who
are ranked among the 90 most learned and able Ju-
rists Of the Rfnsdon, these decisions have assumed
a characte inferior TO of the English or Amer
can Courts; and we find Younge & CoIlver. Nee

&c, perhaps more constantly cited by late Ile-
montary Writer'S and in the cases argued before
the other Courts than any other En- gsh Reoorters
A similar opinion of their value md ilnportnnce
being entertained by the leading Jurists of this
country, an American Edition cannot but he con-
sidered as highly desirable; and the subscribers
are issuing II at the very low price OF two dollars
and half for each English volume, containing
from i,ooo TO 200 octave pages, reprinted in full
IN the pest style oil the day, with entirely new
type, and bound IN superior manner.

CAMBRIDGE, January 25, ls45.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter Of the oath has been re-
ceived, IN which you ask my opinion as TO the
value OF inc English Exchequer Reports, from Price
oownwards TO this time, to an American LAWYER
ana to the expediency of reprnting them in this
country. OF 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 at Equity nin
Common Law, being entitled To equal rcspect With
any others in England. should think an A,neri
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them. ~
am, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours,
