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

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: Gentlcmen-I am
much pleased TO learn that you engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, on the same subject is 10 be
compared with it, for the fullness and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout IL.
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 deservcdly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from IL for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied il most carefully in carly
life, which may account for the singular uteness
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 IL
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
