ALABAMA DECISIONS.

1820 to 1915.

A complete set of Alabama Reports (down to 1915) consists of:

Minor, 1 vol.

Stewart, 3 vols.

Stewart & Porter, 5 vols.

Porter, 9 vols.

Alabama, vols. 1 to 181.

Alabama Appellate, vols. 1 to 10.

We have reprinted the Alabama Reports, vols. 1 to 80 and the 18 preliminary volumes, in a series of 49 books (2 vols. in a book). This Reprint preserves everything (including the paging) in the original Reports. Each case is fully annotated, showing where such case has been subsequently cited by the Alabama 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 United States Supreme Court. Annotations to the Century Digest have also been 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. This Reprint is sold in complete sets only. Write for prices and specific information.

A large number of the Alabama Reports subsequent to volume 81 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, 65 vols. This set contains all decisions in Alabama, vols. 81 to 181, and Alabama Appellate, vols. 1 to 10, in addition to a number of Alabama cases which are not reported in the official reports; also

all decisions for the last 28 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 in excess of the cost of continuing the Southern Reporter. Prices and full information will be furnished on request.
