FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR.


Messrs LITTLE BRows Gentlemen-l am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing a revised edition of Strahan's transla.
ton of DoMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work IN
the English language, the same subject, is TO be
compared with IT, for tho fullncss and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout IT.
From the time Of its publication, up TO the pre-
sent, IL has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly The compilers Of the Code Ma
poeon drew copiously from II for their work. Ma
poeon himself studied IL most carefully IN early
life which may account for the singular acutoness
aud wisdom of his observations and decisions dur
ing the discussions on the adoption Of his code
Domat should, and hope will be, found m the IL
brary OF every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
