ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.

E1NGLlSH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.
vINHE FIRST YEAR Of the publication of the
English Reports IN LaU and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in o0ltnnes, and the issue of se-
parate parts will be discontinued 1t is found that
the second part OF each volume follows rapidly
after the hrst that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unmportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingiy low rate OF 81 per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this ia
the only series OF Reports, either in England or in
thls country, which attempts TO contain ALL the
decisions Of the English courts In II ID series
every reported case Except nist prius decsions) is
ment, and the profession may rely upon having
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper siso to state, that in England
there regular reporters, authorized by law
as In this country but that each series Of Reports
Is there conducted solely as a private enterprise
by private reporters. And ii is believed that for
pnomPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BIZ EviTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Juris Series, surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
peen iound more correct. See the late case Of
Crolts os' Beale, Is Eng Rep. 4Os,) uhers the
parat'oe accuracy Of the LaU Journal Reports and
the contemporaxeous reports Of Manning r. Gran
ger, as TO the true pieadings IN a Former case ,oas

NE plea an Sison Us. Kidman, ar reported in Man.
Grang. $40, is not correct The plea, as il is re-
ported IN the LdU Journal Reports just as my bro
hsr Mdule supposes." In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable not
elsewhere reported, while NO ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finney's Reports in the House
OF Lords; E.: F. Moore's Reports in the Prvy
Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adophus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hurstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports OF Denson, Temple and New,
and e. w Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination Of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be digested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The fret 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
nexed recommendations.
