To the Legal Profession.

TNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
Il English Reports in Lao and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only "a ooiimes and the issue OF Sc
parae parts will be discontinued. IL is found that
The second part Of each volume follows so rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unmporant Each volume will here
after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore and at the same exceed
!ngly 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 nist prtus decisons) s
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 also to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Ut Reports
ia there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
PRoMPTHEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and BREviTY--
the essential requisites in any Reports-thc Law
journal and the Jurst Series, are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late Of
