ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.


VNiiE FIRST YEAR of the publication Of the
i English Reports IN La,o and Equity closes
with the sixth volume Hereafter this series will
be published only IN Doi,mes, and the issue OF Sc
Parate parts Will be discontinued. II 10 found that
the second part of each volume follows 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 heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingiy low rate OF ~ per volume to permanent SUBJ
scribers
The profession need not be reminded that this is
Inc only series OF Reports, either in England in
this country, which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions OF ALL the English courts. In Il 10 series
every reported case Except nsi prius decsions) 10
given in FULL, without condensation abridg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication of the English cases.
II may be proper slso 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 a private enterprise,
by private reporters And it ia believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, CLEARNEss, and q EviTy--
the essential requisites in any Reports--the Law
Journal and the Jurist Series, surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Of
Crofts os Bcae, 60 Eng Rep, 40S, sDhere The COM
pardtiOc accuracy Of the Lao Journal Reports, and
the contemporaseous reports Of Naming g. Gran
ger, as TO the true peddiHgs IN q former case,
directly inUoUed In that case, Jerpis, the Cif jus
fics Of the Common Pleas, Observed: I is clear that
ne plea ~ Sison Us. Kidman, reported IN Man.
Grang. $40, not correct. The plea, as IL is re-
ported in The La,D Journal Reports is lust as nu bro
nter Maule supp0ses " In addition to the foregoing
points OF superiority in these Reports, they viii
be found to contain many valuable cases 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 Fnney's Reports in the House
of Lords; +. +. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Sinons, Hare, Beavan De
Gex and Small, and Macna ghten and Gordon. in
the Courts Of Equity; Adophus and Ellis, Man
ming, Granger and Scott, and Welsby, Hurlstonc
and Gordon, in the Common Law Courts; also the
Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and +. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely unequaIled
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 first Six volumes will be contained in Vol w.
OF the Annual Digest, now in press.
We also beg leave to refer the reader to the nm
nexed recommendations.
