TINHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
Il Raglish Reports IN LaiO and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this seriGs will
bepubished only in u0lumes, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued. IL is found that
the second part Of each volume follows rapidly
after the first, that the advantages of publishing
by parts uninportant Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style heretofore, and at the came exceed.
ingly low rate of s. per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England in
this country which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts In II ia series

given in FULL, without condensation abrdg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cnses.
II may be proper ,lso to state, that in England
there are no 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 it 10 believed that for
pRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREvITy-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Jurist Series, surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See the late 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 Finnelly's Reports in the House
Of Lords; f. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports Of Simons, Hare, Beavan De
Gex and Small and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
| the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis Man

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
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
a combination Of legal reports entirely unequaled

Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter they will be dieested
