Mcssrs. LITTLE & BRowS: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes arc offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their Libraries with the current English Re.
ports, of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will tbus have ready noc ess 20
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head OF the law. whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several systems, more lcss modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, IL is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most Of tho
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
THE country with the cases IMsEprATrLy AFTER
THE PUsLicATIos IN ESotANp, cossfpERArtoN
OF THE FIRST ImPoRTAscE; for, II the Reports of
cases decided nre Of any value, the sooner they
arc in the hands OF the profession the better. /
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit Of the enter
prise.

siastical and Admiralty Courts" And the second
third, fourth and fifth volumes, which you have
published include the decided in the above
courts in 1851.
These Reports like all other works which pro-
ceed from your press, executed in most sub .
stantial manner, and do credit to the enterprise of
the publishers. ] became a subscriber for them as
soon they were found with the booksellers in tho

ENGLISH Law AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.


TNHE FIRST YEAR OF the publication of the
j. English Reports in LaU and Equity closes
With the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in poiumes, and the Issue OF SC
para ate parts will be discontinued 1t is found that
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapidly
after the fret, that the advantages of publishing
by parts are uniInportant. Each volume VIII here
alter appear once in two months, in the sane'size
and stylc as heretofore, and at the same exceed
ingly low rate OF $2 pervolume to permanent sub
scribers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports either in England or in
this country which attempts to contain ALL the
decisions of ALL the English courts. In Il is series
every reported case (except nsi prius decsions) is
given in FULL, without condensation or abridg-
ment and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication ofthe English cases.
1t may be proper .!so to state, that in England
there regular reporters, authorized by law,
in this country, but that each series Of Reports
is there conducted solely as q private enterprise,
by private reporters And it 10 believed that for
PaoMPTNxss, ACCURACY. y.cLEARNEss, and BaEviTV-
the essential requisites in any Reports-the LAW
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case ot

points of superiority in these Reports, they win
be found TO contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported while NO CASE ANY other
other series will be omitted in this Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported in the Jurst and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and Finnelly's Reports in the House
of Lords; f. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Counc; the Reports of Simons. Hare, Bcavan, De
Gcx and Small, and Macnaghten and Gordon, in
the Courts of Equity; Adolphus and Ellis, Man

Criminal Reports of Denison, Temple and New,
and Z. w Cox; the Admiralty Reports of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports Of Robertson.
a combination of legal reports entirely unequallcd
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be digestcd
in the annual volumes of the United States Digest.
The first six volumes will be contained in Vol. V.

We also beg leave to refer the reader to the an
nexed recommendations.
