The profession need not be reminded that this IL

decisions of ALL the English courts. In this series

given In FULL, without condensation or aDridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
1t may be proper ,ls5 to state, that in England
there are regular reporters, authorized BY law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
Ia there conducted solely rs a private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it j. believed that for
pRoMPrNsss, ACCURACY, cLEARs. ISIS and sRnviTy-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Jurst Series not surpassed BY
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case 81
