Address WEST PUBLISHING CO., St. Paul, Minn. C999b AN INDEX TO THE PENNSYLVANIA DECISIONS IN THE ATLANTIC REPORTER TO SEPTEMBER, 1899 NOT REPORTED IN THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE REPORTS St. Paul, Minn. WEST PUBLISHING CO. 1900 PUBLISHERS' NOTE. Since 1885 the Pennsylvania supreme court decisions have been pub- lished currently in the Atlantic Reporter, without omission. When the Atlantic was established, a large number of the decisions filed by this court were excluded from the official reports under the provisions of a statute regulating the publication of the Pennsylvania State Re- ports. For several years, therefore, and until that statute was re- pealed, the Atlantic Reporter gave the only consecutive and exhaust- ive report of the judicial decisions which every Pennsylvania lawyer was supposed to know. It still remains the only series giving in one single publication a systematic and inclusive report of the Pennsyl- vania supreme court since 1885. The cases thus omitted from the official reports number 1,458. We present herewith a table, together with an index showing the subject- matter of the decisions. In this form we trust it will prove useful to the Pennsylvania lawyer who is compelled to depend mainly upon the ofQcial reports, while to the subscriber for the Atlantic Reporter it will afford a concrete proof of the advantages secured by his sub- scription.

Did you ever think Of the advantage which the subscriber to the Na- tional Reporter System has over the owner of the State Reports in this single respect: Cases cited from the State Reports can be readily found in the Reporters By means of Third Label Tables and other devices. IV^ILB Cases cited from the Reporters cannot be readily found in the State Reports, Because no similar devices for cross-reference are pub- lished for the Reports, Again ..^ The Reporters contain all the cases in the State Reports, Giving every opinion in full lyHILE The State Reports do not contain all the cases in the Reporters. The System contains more than 10,000 of these omit- ted cases already. Therefore: The Reporters are substitutes for the State Reports. The State Reports are NOT substitutes for the Re- porters. N. B. Some 250,000 Cases , or AbOUt One=Half ...of the Entire Case Law Of the country, are contained in the National Reporter System. C889b (01) Si/stematic unofficial ^eporti'riff and unsystematic Official ureporl/nff. The Reporters were pioneers in the matter of prompt, complete, and inexpensive reporting. This everyone admits. But it was at first generally assumed that the State Reports must in some way have a weight which the Reporters lacked, and this view is still fostered by those whose interests lie in having it prevail. It is therefore not out of place to remind Reporter subscribers of the following facts: As to the -weight of the word "ofiScial." The official part of a Tolume of reports is the utterances of the judges. That is what is authoritative. That is the only part that can 1)6 dted as a precedent. If the reporter who prepares the volume for publication misstates the law in his sylla- bus, the reader may be misled, but no one is bound by this mistake. It is clerical in character. No reporter's work is official in the sense of beins authoritative. An "official reporter" is simply one who has been oificially appointed; but it has also been officially declared, by legislation and by judicial interpretation, that the publication of the decisions of the courts must be open to all, in the interests of public policy. Every pulalication of such decisions is therefore offi- cial. It may be simply stated as follows: The official work of the courts is published in the National Reporter Sj'stem, under the official authority given to all publishers. The "copy" is furnished in certified form by the officials of the court, — generally by the same clerk who supplies the court reporter with his copy. The plan (originated by. the publishers of the National Reporter System) of publishing two editions enables the judges to first read the earliest published report of their opinions in the advance sheets, and to note any corrections or alterations which may be de- sired for the permanent, bound edition. These features combine to make the reports in the Reporter System as authoritative as any reports can be. The "official reporter" draws a salary from the public treasury, but his work is C2234-8 (^-* not otherwise on any different footing from that of any other reporter of the same official opinions, and the com- mon idea that an "official report" must, because of its name, possess some virtue which compensates for dilatoriness and high price, is due simply to a misconception as to which part of the report is ofRciaL The result which has been achieved in the comparatively few years during which the Reporter System has been be- fore the profession is in itself as strong an argument in its favor as any based upon a direct examination. Being nn- subsidized, it must depend entirely upon the support of the profession for its continuance, and that support must be conquered against the prejudice which always, with a con- servative profession, operates against anything new and het- erodox. Furthermore, the competition of older publishers, whose "Eeports" were threatened by these new "Eeportex-s," has been of the keenest Appeals have been made to the professional prejudice in favor of a past order of things, and the very fact that the Reporters were so much cheaper has been turned against them in arguments addressed to the lawyers who were to do the paying. Yet in spite of argument, competition, prejudice, and lack of any state sup- port, the Reporter System is to-day used by lawyers all over the country, is cited in judicial opinions generally, and is so generally to be found in both public and private libraries that a new text-book which does not give the Re- porter citations is acknowledged to be at a great disad- vantage. The way in which subscribers look at the system is indicated by the letters collected in the pamphlet, "Over Their Own Signatures." This position could not have been attained without some- thing in the Reporters themselves which exactly met the wants of the profession. It is not their low price alone, for among subscribers are lawyers to whom the price they pay for a needed tool is the secondary consideration. It is rather that low price, promptness of publication, systematic method and completeness, and uniform excellence have all combined to make the National Reporter System the most serviceable aid which has ever been devised for the lawyer in dealing with the case-law problem. It has been a grad- ual growth, with nothing forced, spasmodic, or unnatural in its development. It has resulted in a great and prosper- ous institution, devoted to the service of the legal profes- sion, the permanent excellence of which is guarantied by the fact that its continuance depends solely on its own merits.

WEST PUBLISHING CO., St. Paul, Minn. C3879 (G4) TOhat a set of the J^tlantic i/ieporter ^iues the J ennsi/ivania JLawi/er, As to Pennsylvania Reports. Vols. 1 to 45, Atlantic Eeporter, give all the cases in vols. 110 to 193 Pennsylvania State. In other words, they give the equivalent of the latest 84 volumes; that is, 43^ of the State Reports, or 33^ of the whole set of 259 volumes of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State Re- ports. Looking at the number of cases, instead of the number of volumes, we find that vols. 1 to 45, Atlantic, contain 10,052 Pennsylvania cases. The 66 volumes of Pennsylvania Reports and 109 volumes of Pennsyl- vania State prior to the Atlantic contain 17,983 cases. A set of the Atlantic, therefore, gives about 3G^ of all Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases. Looking at the present value of these cases, we find that of the Pennsylvania decisions cited by the Pennsylvania courts, as shown by the three latest volumes, 60^ are cases included in the Atlantic Re- porter. In addition to the Pennsylvania cases which are also accessible through the state reports, the Atlantic contains 1,458 cases (as listed in this index) which have been omitted from the offlcial reports. Special front tables enable the subscTiber to give the offlcial cita- tion for every decision in the set of Atlantic Reporter which has been reported in the offlcial reports. As to Other Reports. Buying vols. 1 to 45 of the Atlantic, you secure, in addition to the Pennsylvania matter, a complete substitute for the following 132 vol- umes of state reports: Vols. 53-72 Connecticut.
