TINE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be Published only in poiunes, and the issue OF se-
parate parts will be discontinued IL is found that
the second part of each volume follows 30 rapidly
after the first, that the advantages Of publishing
by parts are unimportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, In the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed.
ingly low rate Of So perry volume to permanent sub
scribers.
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 ALL the English courts. In this series

given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases
1t may be proper also to state, that in England
as in this country, but that each series of Reports
ia there conducted solely a private enterprise,
BY private reporters. And it ia believed that for
PRoMPrNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTY~
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts Beale, Is Eng. Rep, 40S,) rhere the com.
The contemporaneous reports Of Manning & Gran
ger, TO the true plsadngs in former case, toas
directly inuolued In that case, Jeruis, the Chief JUS
tice Of the Common Pleas, obserred "N is clear that
the plea in Sison Kidman, as reported IN Man.
Grang 80, is not correct. The plea, as II SIRE
ported in the Latp Journal Reports, just my bro
ther MauIe supposes" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
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-
MI ll,,1. -,
of Lords; E. 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 unequalled
In any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be dgested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. V.
of the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.

WAsHINGroN, January 10, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: In the prompt repub
LEGATION of the "Engish Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender to the profession a most inn
portant service. The first volume of these Reports
includes cases decided in the House of Lords,
Privy Council, Courts Of Equity and Common Law,
from and after Michaelmas Term, 1850; also,
"Crown Cases Reserved, and Cases in the Eccle-
sastical and Admiralty Courts" And the second,
third, fourth and fifth volumes, which you have re-
published, include the cases decided in the above
courts in 1851.
These Reports, like all other works which pro-
coed from your press, are executed in a most cub
santial manner, and do credit to the enterprise Of
the publishers. l became a subscriber for them as
soon they were found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced, that from THEIR CHEAP.
NESS AND EXTENT OF MATTER, THEY MUST SUPER
sEpE, AT LEAST IN THIS COUNTRY, ALL OTHER ENG
LIsH REPORTS OF LATE DECISIONS.

JOHN MCLEAN.
