From the Boston Courier.
The enterprisng publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as We Judge, long felt
desideratam-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series Of reports of all the decisions OF all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
Of the November term, 1850; and we observe In the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This 10 unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with II.
The page s large, fair, white and readable. Inc
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much careand diligence The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the and page OF the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject OF each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octavovoumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors andpublishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal lntelHgencr
