ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS
. 10 the Legal Profession.

no the Legal Profession.
rENHE FIRST YEAR of the publication OF the
IL English Reports in Laro and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in Uottimcs, and the issue of &C.
parate parts will be discontinued. Ii 10 found that
the second part of each volume follows 80 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
ingly low rate of - pervoume to permanent sub
scrbers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports, either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions Of ALL the English courts. In this series
every reported case Except ntst pus decisions) is
given in FULL, without condemnation or abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases
II may be proper elso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series of Reports
is there conducted solely Us private enterprise,
by private reporters And it 10 believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, land BREViTY-
the essential requisites in any Reports--thc Law
Journal, and the drst Series, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts U.s. Beale, Is Eng Rep, 40s,) tchert the
paTaiire accuracy Of the LaIu Journal Reports, and
The contemporane0us reports of Manning e. Gran-
ger, as TO the true peadings in former case,
directly inpolved In atcase, JerUis, the Chief jus
tce Of the Common Pleas, Observed: "H is clear that
Grang. Sl0 is not correct. The plea, as IL is
ported IN The La,o Journal Reports, is just my bro
tier liaule suppose" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE IN ANY other
other series will be omitted in this. Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
Of Lords; f. f. Moorc's Reports in the Prvy
Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beayan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wesby, Hurstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and +. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination Of legal reports entirely unequalled
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that hereafter, they will be digested
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest.
The first six volumes will he contained in Vol. V.
Of the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexcd recommendations.

GENTLEMEN: My engagements here have not
permitted me to examine particularly your repub
LEGATION of the En- fish Reports in Law and Equity.
But, as far as j have been able to look into them,
they appear to be correctly and well executed.
And if they continue to be republished with the
promptness of the volumes already out, and at the
price mentioned they will be great convenience
to the Bench and the Bar, and cannot fail to attract
their attention. take pleasure in recommending
them.
