FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR

BosToN, SEPT. 6, 1850.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS Gentemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
tion of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, on the same subject is 10 be
compared with il, for the fullness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout il.
From the time Of It's publication, up to the pre-
sent, II has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers Of the Code Ma
poloon drew copiously from IL for their work Ma.
pUleon himself studied II most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acuteness
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 H.
brary Of every American lawyer.
Your obedent servant, ALFRED HENNEN.

II should omit doing justice 10 my own feelings,
well as 10 the cause OF truth, If were to
leCt the decisions IN Gallison's and Mason's Re
ports as specimens Of pre-eminent merit. They
may fairly be placed upon level with the best
productions oftbc English Admiralty, for deep and
acc urato learning, well for the highest ability
and wisdom in decision" 30 kenf, 20; (2) 527.
