ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.


TINHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
l. English Reports in Lato and Equity closes
with the sixth volume Hereafter this series will
be published only in uOliines, and the issue OF &c
parate parts will be discontinued, IL ia found that
the second part of each volume follows 30 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
ingly low rate of So per volume to permanent sub
scTibers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only seres Of Reports, either in England or in
this country, which attempts 10 contain ALL the
decisions Of the English courts. In Il Is series
every reported case Except nisi prus dccisons) is
given i'll FULL, without condensation abrIdg-
lnent, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper -lso 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 ii 10 believed that for
PRomPTNEss, ACCURACY, oLEARNEss, and DREviTY--
the essential requisites in any Reports-thc Law
Journal and the Jurist Series, surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
| been found more correct See the late case Of

points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO Gaze ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
| have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported cases in the Juris and Law Jour
