The Editor will be glad to receive contributions of articles of moderate length upon subjects of interest to the profession; also anything in the way of legal antiquities or curiosities, facetia, anecdotes, etc. THE GREEN BAG. TT is indeed cheering to the editorial heart to .*. find that at the commencement of a new year his old subscribers, almost without an excep tion, testify their appreciation of his efforts to "entertain" them, by sending in their renewals for the coming year. It is still more gratifying when these renewals are accompanied by words of prxise and commendation. A subscriber in Mississippi writes : — "I began at the beginning with the ' Green Bag,' and have been so well entertained by it (not uselessly) that l am unwilling to miss a single number. I am now surprised that the place you fill was so long un occupied. If it is your purpose to maintain your record and give the tired lawyer as much rest and pleasure in the future as you have done in Volumes Land II., you may consider me a life subscriber." From an Ohio subscriber comes the following : — "I take great pleasure in sending my renewal of the 'Green Bag' for 1891. Your magazine is certainly an inspiration to the young men of the profession." Another subscriber writes : — "I take pleasure in renewing my subscription for the 'Green Bag.' I enjoy it much. The selections are good, and the historical sketches interesting and valuable." And another : — "I enclose check for subscription to the 'Green Bag.' 1 find it a bright sparkling publication, al ways 'entertaining,' and frequently far from 'use less' in character." The above are merely given as samples of the pleasant words which have accompanied very many of the orders received for the coming year. 6
Such kindly expressions will act as a powerful in centive to us to make the " Green Bag " brighter, better, and more " entertaining " than ever. We can assure our Mississippi friend that we intend to maintain our record of the past, and trust to be able to consider not only him but all our readers as life subscribers.
