ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS


rINHE FIRST YEAR OF the publication Of the
l. English Reports an Lao and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only IN v0llnss, and the issue OF Sc
pa rate parts will be discontinued. II ia found that
the second part of each volume follows go rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF pubshing
by parts are unimportant. Each volume will here
after appear in two months, In the same eize
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
!ngly 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 III England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions Of the English courts. In tits series
every reported case Except nsi pr'us decisons) s
given in FULL, without condemnation or abrdg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases.
IL may be proper also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely q private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it 10 believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTY--
the essential requisites IN any Reports-the Law
Journal, and the Juris Seriea, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late Of
Crofts Beale, (5 Eng Rep, 40S tohere the
parafipe accuracy Of the Lao Journal Reports, and
the contemporastous reports Of Manning S Gran-
ger, as to the true pleadings IN former case, Was
directly inUolutd In that case, JerUis. the Cif JUS

ported in the Lao Journal Reports, is just my bro
Their uaule supposss." In addition to the foregoin &
points Of superiority in these Reports, they viii
be found to contain many valuable cases not
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
nal; in Clark and Fnnely's Reports in the House
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 E'lis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hurlstone
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 unequaed
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be digesed
in the ann ual 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
