Mcssrs LITTLE Baows: think you have laio'
the profession under great obligations, in the re-
publication of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity in this country
The low price at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to inr
nish their libraries with the current English Re
ports of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready acccsa 10
the decisions OF courts sitting at the fountain
IN r.. k,uo hxxs, tuod f.Vt
most part the several systcms, or less rnodi
fed, daily administered by tho courts OF this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan also, will furnish the profession in,
this country with the cases IsmrpIATELy AfTEs

ports think An important benefit 10 conferred on
the legal profession in this country The fidelity
with which these Reports appear to have been thus
far made, their compact and convenient arrange
decisions of all the important Courts to period
far within those OF any Court In our own coun-
Htry together with their cbcnppcss, ought to be

use.

wAsHrsoroS, SUPREME CoupT ROOM,
February II, 1852.
CgNrLrnrr: have examined your repubioa-
ron Of the current English and Common Law
REPORTS, and like very much the design and exc
cution Of il.
Neither judge nor lawyer can very well do
without the contemporary decisions OF the Eng
lish Courts. have found them always so inrtruc-
tive and useful, that have hitherto read them in
any form in which they have been published.
Hereafter will do so in yours.
The Courts in England are daily acting upon
csscs presenting important and also new features.
All of us must acknow ledge that they are adud-
Gated with very able and dscrimina ating ness,
and with great learning.
