MISSISSIPPI DECISIONS.

1820 to 1907.

A complete set of Mississippi Reports (down to 1907) consists of:

Freeman's Chancery, 1 vol.

Smedes & Marshall's Chancery, 1 vol.

Walker, 1 vol.

Howard, 7 vols.

Smedes & Marshall, 14 vols.

Mississippi, vols. 23 to 87.

Many of the early volumes of the Mississippi Reports, however, have long been out of print, and are very scarce and expensive. This situation has worked the greatest inconvenience to the bench and bar for years past, and, in recognition of the general demand for a new and complete edition of these Reports, we have undertaken the publication of a complete and annotated Reprint of the Mississippi Reports, to cover the following volumes: Freeman's Chancery; Smedes & Marshall's Chancery; Walker (1 Miss.); Howard (2-8 Miss.); Smedes & Marshall (9-22 Miss.); and Mississippi, vols. 23-63-a total of 65 original volumes, to be bound in 31 books, beginning with vol. 63 and working backward. Everything in the original Reports, including the paging, will be preserved. Full annotations will be added, showing where each case has been

subsequently cited by the Mississippi Supreme Court, as well as prior and subsequent reports of the same case, and also showing the disposition of each case that has gone to the Supreme Court of the United States. Annotations to the Century Digest will also be made, showing, in connection with each case, the exact places in the Century Digest where the cognate authorities have been collected and compared, thus bringing together all the law applicable to any particular case. References to the annotations in the American Decisions and American Reports will also be added. This Reprint will be sold in complete sets only. Books 31 and 30 are now published, covering vols. 60 to 63 Mississippi. Detailed information regarding this Reprint will be furnished on request.

The Southern Reporter, 43 vols., contains all Mississippi decisions subsequent to vol. 63, and all decisions for the last 20 years of Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Southern make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. The Southern is the only medium through which all of the current Mississippi decisions may be had, and which furnishes them promptly. Write for price and detailed information.
