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

BosToN, SEPT 8, 1850.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN Gentemen-I am
much pleased learn that you engaged in
publishing a revised edition of Strahan's transia-
ton OF DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW No work in
the English language on the same subject, is to be
compared with il for the fullness and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
From the time OF its publication, up to the pre-
sent 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 ii most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acuteness
and wisdom OF his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions 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.
