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 are offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur

deprived. They will thus have n ready access 10
the decisions OF courts sithoy at the fountain
head OF the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems. moro or less nodi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And, however modified these systems NAV
be, II Is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most of the
cases arising here.

THE country with the cases IMMEDIATELY ArTgR

CODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1852.
Increase OF Reading MatterI


TNHE LADY IS BOOK for the ensuing year will
Il present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
following-'tol after him in vain"-are suffi.
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LApY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions OF the master minds OF Literature. 1t is
useless to publish list of names-suffce it to say
that VIC m published articles and have others to
publish from all the best american tOriters male and
female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-Uree 9f tohich colored-an addi-
tonal quantity of reading by American authors.
There Id question about the fact and the tens of
temporary press will establish it, that it is the most
magnifcen periodical IN the ,corld
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
ii must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
TO the taste OF the American Ladies. II furnishes
them with every thing that interest Lady
and among others is the following
