the Cases reported by Meeson and Wesby, in II

value from the Notes and eferencesto american de

Since the reorganization of the Courts of Exche-

GENTLEMEN: Your letter Of the oath has been re-
ceived, in which you ask my opinion TO tho
value of the English Exchequer Reports from Price
downwards TO this time, 20 American lawyer,
and TO the orpedicncy OF rcprinting them in this
country. OF tho high value of those Reports, both
on the Pleas and Equity sdes of the Court, have
not the least doubt the decisions Of this Court for
the last heen or twenty years both AZ Equity and in
Common Law, being entitled 10 equal respect with
any others in England. should think an Amcri-
car lawyers library essentially incomplete with
out them.

These series Of Reports are by the reguar Re
portcrs, and form part Of the great chain Of Eng
llsh Authorities, extending from the Year Books TO
the present time. The same difference exists be-
tween them and the opposition Reports issucd ia
the English periodicals. as il found in this country
between the regular reports and the issues Of tho
various agazincs. These are the ONLY SERIES
issued by AUTHORITY AND UNDER Sane
TON or THE COURT, or cited, With but few cI-
ed without condensation omission, nd issued in
this country IMMEDIATELY UPON THEIR
COMPLETION in England, the REGULAR or
AUTHORITATIVE series Of the English Common
Law and Ercheouer Reports is believed 10 presentto
the American Lawyer Inducements and advantages
greater than those offered by any ether seresofEng
lisb or American Reports. lnCHEAPNEsS, In PRAC-
T1CAL VALUE, and AUTHORITY, the great ele-
ments Of value, they arc UNSURPASSED, while
in PUNCTUALITY OF APPEARANCE they arc
in advance Of most American editions. The pub
fishers arc determined that effort connected
with their duties shall be wanting 10 render them
as they always have been, highly popular and sat
isfaciory TO the profession.
