WAsHIseToS, January 20, 1852.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: | 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 beer
deprived. They will thus have ready nccesa 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 may
be, il is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEpIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATIONS IN EsoIAND, ooNsIpERArioS
or THE FIRST ImPoRTASCE; for, If the Reports Of
cases decided ore of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands Of the profession the better. !
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit Of the enter
price
am, with great respect, your obediont servant,
SAM Ell NELSON.

any form in which they have been published
Hereafter will do go in yours.
The Courts in England are daily acting upon

All Of US must acknowledge that they are adjudi
