ing vols. 33 to 80 Alabama, have now been issued. Write for prices and specific information.

Vols. 81 to 94 of the Alabama Reports are out of print, and are very scarce and expensive. The only convenient method of obtaining the later Alabama decisions is through the Southern Reporter, 43 vols. This set contains all decisions in Alabama, vols. 81 to 144, in addition to a number of Alabama cases which are not reported in the official reports; also all decisions for the last 20 years of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Tables of cross-citations furnished with the Southern make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report volume and page. The set and continuations are sold at a fraction of the cost of the State Reports covered. In fact, the cost of continuing the Alabama Reports alone is much in excess of the cost of continuing the Southern Reporter. Prices and full information will be furnished on request.
