THE LAW JOURNAL.

In almost every department of literature there are numerous periodical
publications, in which the principles of a science are investigated, and every
alteration and improvement that arise in the practice of it immediately com-
municated to its professors and students, by which means a general know-
ledge of the subject is widely diffused.

It has long been a source of regret and surprise, that the Law should be
the only scientific pursuit in which there is not a JOURNAL OF TRANSACTIONS.
-In the laws of this great commercal country, alterations must of necessity
be continually made; and an early notice of the change becomes of the
greatest importance to every person; and particularly to those, whose duty
and business it is to advise on legal questions.

To inform the Profession of every change which takes place in the law-
to present them with every species of legal information which the con-
duct of business can require, to afford to professional gentlemen, resident at a
distance from London, faithful Notes of the decisions of the Courts, and a
brief statement of the Statutes made in Parliament-and to supply prac-
titioners with an accurate account of all proceedings in any manner relating
to legal business—are the objects contemplated by the Proprietor of THE
LAW JOURNAL and THE LAW ADVERTISER.

These works will be published upon the Thursday in every week.

THE LAW JOURNAL will be divided into six parts, each of which will be
separately paged, so that it may, at the end of the year, be bound up by
itself. These divisions will be:-

I. Reports of Cases in the Courts of Equity.

II. Reports of Cases in the Court of King's Bench.
III. Reports of Cases in the Court of Common Pleas.

IV. A Summary of the Contents of every Act of Parliament, immediately
after it has passed.

V. A Digest of all the Reports in every Court of Justice in the kingdom.
VI. An annual Supplemen to Burn's Justice.
