Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases in the Court of Appeals of the State of New-York, Vol. 1: Containing a Statement of Each Case Argued in the Court, Commencing With Its Organization; The Briefs and Points of Counsel Therein, the Decision of the Court, and the Votes of the Judges Upon the Respective Decisions; 1855 It was during my official services in the special terms of the Supreme Court, that I discovered the want of the Special Term Reports and in the fall of 1844, I issued the first number of that work. That I did not misjudge as to the necessity of those reports, may be fairly inferred, I think, from the univer sality with which they were taken by the profession: and since the new organization of the courts, and under the Code, the value and circulation of; these reports have largely ia creased. As a true and faithful reporter can have very lit tle vanity to gratify in recommending his reports - the mate rials and merits of which belong to others (the judges) - I think I may safely assert that Howard's Practice Reports have increased in interest and value, at every successive volume since their publication commenced.
