The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts In II is series
every reported case Except nst pris decisi1ns Is
given in FULL, without condensation or 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 Engla
there are regular reporters, authorized by law
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely as q private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, land BREvITY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurist Series, not 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 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 Finneily's Reports in the House
of Lords; E. f. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Smons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in

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

in any country.
Additional value will also be- given to this series
from the fact that hereafter, they will be dgested

of the Annual Digest now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the
