ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.

TTNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
Esgish Reports in LaD and Equity closes
with the sixth volume Hereafter this series VIII
be published only IN Uot,mss and the issue OF ae-
parate parts will be discontinued. II is found that
the second part OF each volume follows SO rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unimportant Each volume will here
after appear once In two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed ..
!ngy low rate Of y per volume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this ia
the only series Of Reports, either in England in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts In Il is series
every reported Except nis prius decsions) ia
given in FULL, without condemnation or ab'idg-
mcnt, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases.
II may be proper .lso TO state, that In England
there are no regular reporters authorized ny law
as in this country, but that each series OF Reports
ia there conducted eoely as a private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRomPTN Kss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and DREviTY--
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Juris serics, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts Bcale, 6 Eng Rep, 40S tohere the
payatire accuracy Of the LaU Journal Reports, and
the contenporanfous reports Of Manning e. Gran
ger, as to the true pieadings in former case, ods
directly invOlred. In that case, JyUis, the Chit Jus

points OF superiority in these Reports, they vii
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE ANY other
other series will be omitted in this Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurst and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports III the House

Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Bcavan, DE-
