decisions, well understood; and this series high
ly commends itself, both on account the neat, &c
cuuate and cheap manner in which it ia furnished
and the mine Of excellent Reports which it en-
braces. From Marpin's Legal photography.

of gal lea rning, in the shapeof opinions, dicta,
elaborate arguments, &C., Sc, sufficient, proba-

| of any case that can arise in our Courts Of Law
and being thus made easily and instantly accessi-

those having access to, but not owning the series.

| Since the reorganization Of the Courts of Exche-

the other Courts than any other English Reporters
| A similar opinion of their value and Importance
being entertained by the leading Jurists of this

GENTLsmEN: In reply to your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that entertain a very high
opinion of the recent ExcheGuer Reports. In my
Judgment they are not excelled by any contempt
raneous Reports, in learning, ability, or general
utility and interest. The cases decided are dis
| cussed with great care, and expounded 18th un
common force. l scarcely know of any volumes
which deem of more importance value fora

CAMBRIDGE, January IS, 1876
| GENTLEMEW: Your letter Of the oath has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion as to the
value of the English Exchequer Reports from Price
| downwards to this time, to an American lawyer,
and to the expedency of rcprinting them in this
country. Ofthe high value of these Reports, both
| on the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the least doubt the decisions of this Court, for
the last fifteen twenty years, both at Equity and
Common Law, being entitled to equal respect with
| any others in England. should think al Ameri.
can lawyers library essentially incomplete with.
out them.

These series of Reports are by the regular Re
portcrs, and form part of the great chain Of Eng
lish Authorities extending from the Year Books to
the present time. The same difference exists be
tween them and the opposition Reports issued in
the English periodicals, is found in this country
between the regular reports and the issues of the
various magazines. These are the ONLY SERIES
issued by AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane.

greater than those ocredby any ether seriesof Eng

in PUNCTUALiTY OF APPEARANCE they are
