JUST PUBLISHED, DoMAT IN. } CIVIL Law
IN ITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID, Advocate in Doctors

ton, by Hon. LUTHER s. CUSHING, late one Of
the Judg in the Court Of Common Pleas; now Lee.
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo-
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most influ-
work, entitled The CiviI Lao IN it, Natural Or
DER" says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
considering the age and the circumstances in
which it was written, is truly wonderful per-
formance His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law which are Of gem
eral interest and application, from the technicali
ties of the system, and, by presenting them In
natural and scientific method, to render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and. though the work was particularly
| intended for and adapted to the French jurispru
dcnce Of the age, it is not less applicable to every
system Of law, If which the Roman code 10 either
a part, or in which it is recognised as body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus to the attention OF the Amc
rcan lawyer bomat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal Institutions derived
in part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced a belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition OF this cele
brated work would be acceptable to the profession,
and have led them to engage in republication of
the English translation of it by DIR. Strahan.
