LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender TO the profession most i'm
portant service. The first volume Of these Reports
includes cases decided in the House of Lords
Privy Council, Courts of Equity and Common Law,
from and after Michaelmas Term, 1850; also,
"Crown Cases Reserved, and Cases in the Eccc-
siastcal and Admiralty Courts" And the second
third, fourth and fifth volumes, which you have
published, include the decided in the above
courts in 1851.
These Reports, like all other works which pro-
coed from your press, are executed in a most sub
stantial manner, and do credit the enterprise Of
the publishers ! became a subscriber for them as
soon they were found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced that from THEIR CHEAP

ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.

To the Legal Profession.
TNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
Il Engitsh Reports IN LGtD and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IN voilnss, and the issue of
parate parts will be discontinued 1t is found that
the second part OF each volume follows SO rapidly
after the first, 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
ingy low rate Of 50 per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series Of Reports, either in England or IN
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF the English courts. In IL 10 series
every reported Except nisi prus decisons) is
given in FULL, without condensation abridg
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases
II may be proper also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely q private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it 10 believed that for
PRoMPTNsss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and DREyiTY-
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
Crofts us. Bealc, Is Eng Rep. 4OS ichere the com
paratiue accuracy Of the La,o Journal Reports. and
the contempordssous reports Of Manning y Gran
ger, TO the true piendings in former case,
directly inuoIUed. In that case Jerpis the Chief JUS
lice Of the Common Pleas, O6serued: st Is clear that
the plea N Sison ~. Kidman, as reported in Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct. The plea, as 1t isre
ported in the LaD Journal Rsports is just my bro
Mer Maule supposss." In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they viii
be found to contain many valuable cases 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 Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; e. 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 E. 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 also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digested
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 prcss.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.
