the United States Supreme Court
WAsHINeToN, January q, 1882
GENTLEMEN: My engagements here have not
permitted me to examine particularly your repub-
LEGATION of the Err fish Reports in Law and Equity.
But. as far as-l have been able to look into them
they appear to be correctly and we'll executed.
And if they continue to be republished with the
promptness pf the volumes already out, and at the
price mentioned, they will be great convenience
to the Bench and the Bar, and cannot fail to atrac,
their attention. take pleasure in recommending
them.
am, with much respect, your obedient servant,
r. r. TANEY
Messrs LITTLE g. BRowN.
WAsHINGToN, January IS, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: In the prompt repub
lication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" you tender to the profession a most i'm.
portant service. The first volume of these Reports
includes cases decided in the House of Chords
Privy Council, Courts Of Equity and Common Law,
from and after Mchaemas Term, 1850; also
"Crown Caseo Reserved, and Cases in the Eccle.
siastical 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 most sub
stantial manner and do credit to the enterprise of
the publ fishers. / became subscriber for them as
soon as they were found with the booksellers in the
West, and am convinced that from THEIR CHEAP
NEss AND EXTENT OF MATTER, THEY MUST SUPER
SIDE, AT LEAST IN THIS COUNTRY, ALL OTHER ENG
LisH REPORTS OF LATE DECISIONS.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN MCLEAN.
WAsHINeToN, January 26, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: 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 q ready access to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more or less mod.
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
cascs arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND, A CONSIDERATION
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.
lam with great respect, your obedont servant,
SAMUEL NELSON.
WAsHINGToN, January 26, 1852
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 a period
lar 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 obedient servant
b. r. CURTIS.
WAsHINsToN, SUPREME CoURT RooM,
February II, 1852,
GENTLEMEN: have examined your repubIica.
ton of the current English and Common Law
cution ofit.
Neither judge nor lawyer can very we'll do
without the contemporary decisions of the Eng.
ish Courts. have found them always 30 inetruc-
tive and useful that ! have hitherto read them in
any form in which they have been published
Hereafter will do so in yours.
The Courts in England are daily acting upon
cnscs presenting important and also new features
All Of US must acknowledge that they are adjudi-
Gated with very able and disc Eliminating
and with great learning.
Wishing your publication every success, am,
gentlemen respectfully y G1I SseSent

WARRINGTON, January %, 1852
GENTLEMEN: publication like that in which
you are engaged, Of the English Law and Chan
Gerry Reports, if promptly and accurately executed
cannot fail OF great usefuness to the profession,
including both the Bench and the Bar. The work,

accurately and we'll done, and is certainly fur
nshed at a cheap rate.
With great respect, yours,
