Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: / 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 been
deprived They will thus have ready access 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 ess modi-
hed daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And, however modified these systems may
be, it is manifest that these decisions must she'd
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 IMhEpIATKLY AFTER
TIKI PUBLicATIos IN ESGLAND, coNsIDRpATIos
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, If the Reports of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better I
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

a revolutionary patriot, tells the follow
ing incident, which occurred at the seige
of Yorktown, Oct. 18th, ISL =
The blinds mentioned in the story
were made Of hogsheads and pipes filled
with sand-they were placed there by
the british, for they had occupied the
redou5t and had been driven from 1t by
storm by the Americans. DR.. Monson
was himself behind those blinds and
and within two or three PAGES OF Ham
ilton and Knox. With Hamilton, Knox
and others there were present in that re-
doubt about four hundred American
troops-The French troops were in an
other redoubt. A general order had been
given, that when shell was seen, they
might cry out "a shell but not cry out
shot, when a shot was seen. The
reason of this distinction was, that shell
might be avoided, but TO cry shot
would only make confusion, and do no
good. This order was just then discussed
Col. Hamilton remarking that 1t seemed
10 him unsoldierlike to halo a shell,
while Knox contenied the contrary, and
that the order was wisely given by Gen.
Washington, who cared for the liies OF
the men. r-s
