"The absolute necessity to the American LAWYER
of keeping up an acquaintance with the English
DECISIONS is well understood; and this series high
ly comInends itself, both on account of the neat
ctrdte, and cheap manner in which il is furnished
and the mine of excellent Reports which il en-
braces" From Marpin's Legal Bibliograpiu.
A GENERAL INDEX to tho first foriy sece,
pofunes OF this series has been prepared by the
Hon. George Sharswood and George w Biddle,
esq, containing over 30,000 points of Cases dcci-
ded. vol Svo. S.
With this key to their contents, the English Com
mon Law Reports present to the Profession mass
of legal learning, in the shape OF opinions iicta,
elaborate arguments, &c, &C., sufficient proba-
bly,, for the elucidation and prosecution or defence
OF any case that can arise lii Courts of Law
and being thus made easily and instantly accessi-
bic, these Reports will be found SO comprehensive,
and cheap, as 10 supcrscdc the ncces-
slty OF other and more expensive series.
The Index Will be found of great value to all pos-
sessing the Reports; and OF great convenience 10
those having access to, but not owning the series
The NEW ENGLISH EXCHEQ UER REPORTS
are in 20 vols, and contain perbat reprint of all
the Cases reported by Meeson and Welsby in II
vols, and by Welsby, Hurlstone, and Gordon,
present reporters, in 3vos. They derive increased
value from the Notes and erences 10 Ameriea,, de
cisions, appended by Messrs J. l. Clark Hare, and
Horace Binney Wallace, csqs, whose labors in
editing Smiths, the American, and Whites Eaui-
ty, Leading Cases, have rendered therc 30 popular
with the Profession. The lo,r price 50 so per vol
ume) at which they sold, places them within
the reach of every book buyer Their merit recon-
Inends them to every lawyer.
Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exche-
lucr, and the appointment therein of Judges who
are ranked among the ." most learned and able Ju-
rists Of the Kingdom" these decisions have assumed
characterinferlor 10 none of the ngsh or Aincri
,an Courts; and we find Youngc & Coyer, Nee
son Welsby, Crompton, Mceson & Roscoe Sc,
&c, perhaps more constantly cited by late Ele-
mcntary Writers, and in the cases argued before
the other Courts, than any other En- glish Reporcrs
A similar opinion of their value and importance
being enter tanned by the leading Jurists of this
country, American Edition cannot but be con-
sidcred as highly desirable and the subscribers
are issuing il at the very low price OF two dlars
and a half for each English volume, containing
from 200 to 200 octave pages, reprinted in full
IN the best style Of the day, with an entirely new
type, and bound IN superior manner.
we take pleasure in referring TO tho accompany-
ing letters, explanatory of the character OF these
Reports, and their value TO the Profession in this
country:

GENTLEMEs In reply TO your letter, can with
great sincerity say, that / entertain n very bioh
opinion of the recent Exchequer Reports In INV
Judgment they not excelled by any conternpo-
raneous Reports, in learning, ability, or general
Utility and interest. The cases decided are dis
;ussed with great care, and expoundcd with un
common force. ! scarcely know of any vulumcs
which deem OF more importance value for n
professional library. JOSEPH STORY.

GEsTLEMEN: Your letter OF the oath has been re-
in W Iynn nah f,,s.,
'aluc OF the English Exchequer Reports from Price
iownwards TO this time, TO an American LAWYER.
md to the expcdiency of rcprinting them in this
country. OF the high value of these Renofts hoth
IN the Pleas and Equity sides of the Court, have
not the east doubt the decisions of this Court for
ne last hecn or twenty years both at Equity md I'm
common Law, being entitled 20 equal respect with
my others in England. 1 should think an Ameri-
ar lawyers library essentially incomplete with
,ut them.

'ctwecn the regular reports and the issues of The
rious magazincs. These arc the ONLY SERIES
saued by AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane

options, by Elementary Writers. Being reprint
