FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR

BosTos, SEPT. 8, 1850.
Me.srs. LITTLE BRows Gentlemen-I am
much pleased 10 learn that you engaged in
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton Of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW No work in
the giish language, the subject, is to be
compared with IL, Tor the fulncss and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout il.
From the time Of its publication up to the pre-
sent, IT has received the appreciation Of the nost
learned men and lawyers ia every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers Of the Code Ma
poeon drew copiousy from II for their work. Ma
poeon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acutene--
and wisdom Of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions ON the adoption Of his code
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the Ii
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
