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

much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
the English language, the same subject, is to be
compared with il, for the fullneas and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Trom the time Of its publication, up to the pre-
cent, it has received the appreciation Of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from It for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied il most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acuteness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discu@iOns 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.
