WAsbiSoToS, January 20, 1897.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication Of the English Reports in Law and
Equity in this country.
The low price at which the volumes arc offered
will enable the bar generally in this way TO fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many OF them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head Of the law, whence have been derived for tho
most part, the several systems, more less modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts OF this coun-
try. And, however modified these systems may
be, il is manifest that these decisions must shed
great ight upon the investigation Of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the iMsEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN EsGIAsp, CONSIDERATION
or THE FIRST IMroRTASoE; for, If the Reports of
cases decided nre Of any value, the sooner they
are In the hands OF the profession the better.
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit Of the enter
prise.
am, with great respect, your obcdiont servant,
SAMUEL NELSON.

GGSTLENEr: have examined your republican
ton Of the current English and Common Law
Reports, and like very much the design and exc
cution Of it.
Neither judge nor lawyer can very well do
without the contemporary decisions Of the Eng
sh Courts. have found them always so instruc-
tive and useful, that have hitherto read them in
any form in which they have been published.
Hereafter ! will do 30 in yours.
The Courts in England daily acting upon
cases presenting important and also new features.
All OF US must acknowledge that they are adjudi-
Gated with very able and terminating acute ness
and with great learning.
Wishing your publication every success, am,

ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.
TO che Legal Professlon.

INHE FIRST YEAR Of the publication of the
Il English Reports in Lato and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
he published only ia volumes, and the issue Of
parate parts will be discontinued. IL ID 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
sngly low rate Of So perv volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions Of ALL the English courts. In Il is series
every reported case Except nis prius decisons) 10
given in FULL, without condemnation 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,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPrN Rss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and BREvlTY--
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Juris Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crots ps. Beale, Is Eng. Rep, 40S,) phsre the CON-
paratiDe accuracy Of the Latc Journal Reports and
fAs contemporaasous reports If Manning r Gran
ger, as TO the true pleddings former case,
directly inpoiued. In that case JerUis, the Chf JUS
tice Of the Common Pleas, observed: at is clear that
the plea in Sison Kidman, as reported in Man.
Grang. $40, IS not correct. The plea. az 1t is
ported in the Lat1 Journal Reports, just as my bro
lher Mauls supposes 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 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 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 unequaled
| in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digested
in the ann ual 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.
