Smedes & Marshall's Chancery, 1 vol. Walker, 1 vol. Howard, 7 vols. Smedes & Marshall, 14 vols. Mississippi, vols. 23 to 91. 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 |
