The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports either in England or IN

permitted me to examine particularly your repub-
LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and Equity.
| But, as far ! have been able to look into them,
they appear to be correctly and well executed.

promptness of the volumes already out, and at the
| price mentioned, they will be great convenience
to the Bench and the Bar, and cannot fail to attral
their attention take pleasure in recommending
them.

Messrs LITTLE & BRowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication of the "English Reports in Law and

The low price at which the volumes are 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 accesa to
the deciSions Of courts sitting at ths fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the

be, it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great lii ht upon the investigation of most of the

try, together with their cheapness ought to b,
sufficient recommendations to insure their genera
