JUST UBLISHED, DOMAT (M CIVIL Law
INITS NATURAL ORDER, transatedinto English
by VIM Strahan LII. d., Advocate in Doctors
Commons Edited, from the second London Edi-
ton, by Hon LUTHER s. CUSHING, late one OF
the Judges ia the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee.
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University In vols Royal Svo.
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
LAWYERS and which have exerted the most infiu-
ence upon our jurisprudence, Is DoMAr, "whose
work entitled The CiUI Ldtr in ITS Natural Or
DER" says Judge Story, preface 10 Bsiiments,)
''considering the age and the circumstances IN
forrnance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are of gen
eral interest and application, from the techncaii-
ties of the system, and by presenting them in
natural and scientific method, to render them more
ntelgibe, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dence of the age, it is not less applicable to every
-, tk. ID axtth th.r
a part or in which it is recognised body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention OF the Anne
rican lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in thoso
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief on the part
Of the publishers that modern edition of this cele-
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them to engage in a republication OF
the English translation of 1t by DIR. Strahan.

FROM HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

BRooKLINE, OcT. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMEN; | have examined the sheets Of the
translation Of the admirable work of Domat the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough TO
send me. You will have rendered great service
10 the science OF law by the publication The form
of the English edition OF the translation too
large and inconvenient- its scarcity and high
price prevented Its general use III this country The
present publication, from it's FORM its style of
cution, and moderate price, think cannot fail in
remuneratng you. The translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested il Is in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision of the editor,
Judge Cushing
In searching for a solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
advance in civilization is creating, and in judg
of those reforms of the law which in progress
in different parts of the United States the value
the civil law will be appreciated il comes 10 be
understood. IL cannot be otherwise with system
of written which for centuries governed the
wonderful social organization that the world
has witnessed, and which ID the real basis OF
the jurisprudence of continental Europe, and of a
large portion of that OF England and the United
States.
II would be quite useless for me TO speak OF the
merits of the great work which your enterprise is
about TO give TO the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per
mitted 10 occupy IN England, few of the standard
works concerning IL have been translated into Eng
lish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises on that subject have
no doubt that in louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
MA and in the Territories of the UL tied States
well as in Lower Canada, there will be a ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
10 the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prisng house will hnd its interest in Publishing,
from time TO time, in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis Of a
civil law library.

A report has gained currency with

has depressed the opinion that the
Southern Convention mould not be

This statement is vile fabrication.

He took occasion not long since In the
Senate to explain its objects, and 10
vindicate it from the misrepreseta-
tions of the National nteiigeHcer.-
We suppose the report grew out of
hope which he not long since ex-
pressed, (bassed upon movements at
the North, which he regarded some
what conciliatory) that settlement
of the question would be effected sat
isiactOry to the South, which would
do away with the necessity Of fhOlding
the Convention. There is nothing
Objectionable in this. 1t indicates no
opposition to the Convention; nor is
there a Southern man but would re-
ioice at so fortunate termination Of
the difficulty between the North and
the South. All look upon the Cons
yention as a necessity growing ont of
the uDjustifiabIe and unconstitutional
interference OF the former with the
rights of the latter; as a means OF
protecting the Constitution. and re-
pelling aggression. Gen. Foote with

will disabuse the minds of those they
