ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.



TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
L English Reports IN Laso and Eq~''y closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter tEis seTRs WIN
be published only va u0umfs and the Issue oi nc
parate parts will be discontinued. IL 10 focnd tnat
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapiny
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unmportant. Each volume VIII mere
after appear in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate OF W per volume to permanent sub
scrbers.
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 the English courts In Il Ia series
every reported case Except nsi prius decislons) ID
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
men, and the profession may rely upon having AK
accurate republication Of the English cases.
1t may be proper -Iso to state, that in Eng land
there are regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And II ia believed that Tor
! PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurst Serier, not surpassed ny
any rival series in England, and they have often
| been found more correct See the late case %
Crofts Beale, 6 Eng Rep, 40S,) where the com
paratipe accuracy Of the La,o Journal Reports, and
The c0ntempOraReOts reports Of Manning q Gran
ger, as to the true pieadings in former case ,cds
directly inuolUed. In that case, Jervis he Chi.f JUS
ics Of the Common Pleas, obserued III is clear that
The plea III Sison cs kid,nan, as reported IN Man
& Grang. $40, is not correct The plea, as IL is re
ported in The Lao Journal Reports, just my bro
ttey Ma,e 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
nall in Clark and Finney's Reports in the House
of Lords; f. F. Moore's Reports in the Priyy
Council; the Reports of SiInons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
I he IF nd
ming, Granger and Scott, and WeIsby, Hurlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison. Temple and New,
and f. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson -
a combination Of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter, they will be digested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. "
of the Annual Digest now in press
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
ncxed recommendations.

GENTLEMEN: My engagements here have not
permitted me to examine particularly your repub-
LEGATION of the English Reports in Law and Equity
But, as far as have been able to look into them
they appear to be correctly and well executed.
| And il they continue to be republished with the
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 attract
their attention. take pleasure in recommending
them.

These Reports, like all other works which pro-
coed from your press, executed in most sub
santial manner and do credit to the enterprise Of
the publishers. became a subscriber for them
coon as they were found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced, that from THEIR CHEAP
