The present volume concludes the series of Reports of the Decisions of the late Chancellor, the Hon. John Johnson. These four volumes embrace all the more important cases decided in the High Court of Chancery from the 21st of December, 1846, the date of the Chancellor's appointment, to the 10th of March, 1854, the period at which, by the provisions of the Constitution, his office terminated.

The Legislature of Maryland, at its recent session, acknowledged the high merits of this work in renewing the State subscription for one hundred and ninety copies of the fourth volume, by the passage of the following act:
