what acquainted with the character of the English
Law and Equity Reports, by the Jurist and Law
Journal for many years, but more go, for the last
year, through your republication. Ihave no doubt
they will supply every thing which the profession
generally will desire, from all the English Reports
and in form and at an expense altogether unob-
jectionable. They furnished so much earlier
than any other series of English Reports in THE
country, that your republication will be almost in.
dlspensable to every member of the profession no

Jurisprudence. The notes, by the American editors
are a valuable addition, and am inclined to he

esIt is impossible to read these Reports without
high admiration of the learning of the English
courts and bar, and ardent desire to see in our
country the bench filled. as it is in England, with
the most eminent lawyers, without distinction of
party, and with salary which makes the Office
respected and respectable We again commend
the work to every practcing lawyer, as the cheap
est and best edition of the Englist Reports"

their circulation is becoming more and more ex.
tended, and their e. eat merits more widely appre-
