TNHE FIRST YEAR Of the publication of the
Eagiish Reports IN LatD and Equity closes
with the sixth volume Hereafter this series will
be published only ia poltmes, and the issue Of
parae parts will be discontinued, II is found that
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapidly
after the first, that the advantages Of publishing
by parts arc unimportant. Each volume will here
after appear once in two month";, in the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingiy 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 in England
this country, which attempts TO contain ALL the
decisions Of ALI the English courts. In Il il series
every reported case Except nis prus decisions) is
given in FrLL, without condensation or obridg1
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication OF the English cuses.
f II 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
ia there conducted solely private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it ia believed that for
PRoMPTsEss, ACCURACY, cLEARSEss, md BaEviTy+-
the essential requisites In any Rcports-the Law
Journal, and the Jurist seriea, surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct See fhc late ef
