ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.


THE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
4 English Reports IN Lato and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in Uolunes, and the issue Of Sc
parate parts will be discontinued i Is 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 So per volume to permanent sub
scribers
The profession need not be reminded that this is
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 case Except nsi prius decsions) 10
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment, 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 by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted soley AZ private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRomPrYEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and BnEyiTY---
the essential requisites in any Repors--thc Law
Journal, and The Jurist Series not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case If
Crofts Us Beale, Is Eng. Rep, 40s,) whee The COM
parattUe accuracy Of The Lair Jounai Reports, and
The contemporaseous reports IF Manning y Gran
ser, as 10 the true Peadings in a former case icas
directly inu0ped In that case, JerpiS. the Ch.f JUS
lice Of the Common Pleas, observed: III is clear that
TIE plea in Sson u.s. Kdman, as reported in Man.
Grang. $40, Is not correct. The plea, as IL is
ported in the Lato Journal Reports, is just asmy bro
ttcr Mauie suPposes" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cascs 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 IIouse
of Lords; +. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports Of Sinons, Hare, Bcavan, De
nax o,IC o,,d ,,fo, ~ 50,
the Courts Of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming. Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hnrlstone
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New.
and z. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports Of Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely uncqualed
IN any country.
Additional value will also be given To this series
from the fact that hereafter they will be digcsted
in the annual volumes Of the United States Digest.
The first elk volumes will be contained in Vol. v.
OF the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
ncxed recommendations.
