Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: l think you have laid
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
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived They will thus have ready access to
the dcciaiOna of cOurta aittiOr the tai
head of the law whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several systems, more less modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems NAV
be, it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most Of the
cases arising here ,""
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY Aztec
THE PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND, A coNsIDKRATIoN
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better. i
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be Commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN-- Gentlemen: BY your
publication Of the English Law and Equity Re-
ports, think an important benefit is conferred on
the legal profession in this country. The fidelity
with which these Reports appear to have been thus
far made, their compact and convenient arrange
ment, their early publication, bringing down the
decisions of all the important Courts to period
far within those of any Court in own coun-
try, together With their cheapness, ought to be
sufficient recommendations to insure their general
use.
With great respect, am your obedicnt servant
