after appear once in two months, in the same size
and style as heretofore and at the exceed
.ngly low rate Of 50 per volume to permanent sub
scrbers.
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 the English courts. In It. ia series

given in FULL, without condemnation or abrdg-
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the English cases.
IL may be proper .lso TO state. that in England
there arc no regular reporters, authorized by law
in this country but that each series of Reports
is there conducted solely as a private enterprise,
