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

V,
N,ssrs LITTLE * BRowN Gentemen-I 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 nelish language, the subject, is To be
COMPARED with IL, for the fulness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout 1t.
From the time of its publication, up to the pre-
sent Il has received the appreciation OF the nost
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew cOpiously from II Tor their work. Ma
poeon himself studied it most carefully IN carly
life which ma y account for the singular acutcness
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.
