Messrs. LITTLE & BnowS: 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

ports, of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have 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 systemo, more or less rnod-
fled, daily administered by the courts of this coun
