The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-06-08

To the Legal Profession.

INHE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
l. English Reports in Lao and Equity closes
With the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in polu,nes, and the issue Of Sc
parate parts Will be discontinued. 1t ID found that
the second part OF each volume follows rapidly
after the nrst, 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
ing y 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 ts series
every reported case Except MIST pyis dccsions) ia
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
inent and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
1t may be proper ,iso to state, that in England
there are no regular reporters, authorized by law,
as in this country, but that each series Of Reports
10 there conducted solely as private enterprise,
by private reporters. And it is believed that for
pRomPrEEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTy-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the Law
Journal and the Jurist Seres are not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late Of
Crofts ps Beae, Is Eng. Rep, 40S tohere the com
pdra'Ue accuracy Of the Ld,o Journal Reports, and
me contemporaasous reports Of Manning f. Gran
ger, as to Ne true piendngs in a former case ,oas
directly incoped In that case, Jeyvis, the Chief Jus
t,ceV the Common Pleas, observed: at Is clear that
me plea ~ Sson u.s. Kdman, reported in Man.
Grang SlO ~ not correct. The plea, as IL is re.
portdin the LaU Journal Reports, is just as my bro
Gter Mduie supposes" In addition to the foregoing
points of superiority in these Reports, they viii
be found to contain many valuable caees not
elsewhere reported, while NO 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; E. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports Of Simons, Hare, Beavan, De
Gex and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon in
the Courts Of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Wclsby Hurlstone
| and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports Of Denison, Temple and New
and E. 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 fret six 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
nexed recommendations.
