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

BROOKLINE, OCT. IL, lSOu.
CEsTLrMEN 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
to the science of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition OF the translation was too
large and inconv enient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country. The
present publication, from its form, its style of exc
cution, and moderate price, think, cannot fail IN
remunerating you. The translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested; II il IN the main correct but
will bc improved under the revision OF the editor,
Judge Gushing.
In searching for a solution OF the apparently new
questions arsIng out OF the various relations which
advance in civilization Id creating, and IN Judg
ing of those reforms of the law which are IN progress
in different parts of the United States the value of
the civil law will be appreciated as IL comes 10 bc
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with n system
OF written reasons which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has witnessed, and which is the real basis OF
the Jurisprudence of continental Europe, and of a
large portion of that of England and the United
States
IL would be quite useless for to speak of the
Gnerits Of the great work which your enterprise Ia
about to give to the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per
United 10 occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning II have been translated into Eng
lsh, and this want has not been supplied by the
original En- glish treatises that subject. ! have
no doubt that in louisiana. in Texas, in Califor-
MIA and in the Territories OF the United 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
the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prising house will find its interest in publishing.
from time TO time, in the English language, such
other standard works as will form the basis of
civil law library.
remain, gentlemen, very rssPecu1Iy. your
obedfent servant, GEORGE EUSIlS.

The object of the author, in this learned produc

natural and scientific method, to render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful ano
