FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR


Messrs. LITTLE & BsowN GentlemenI 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 I'm gish language, the same subject is to be
compared with il, for the fulness and correctness
of tn, doctrine conveyed throughout It,
From the time OF its publication, up 10 the pre-
sent it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilcrs OF the Code Ma
poieon drew copousy from 1t for their work. Ma
polcon himself studied it most carefully in early
lite, 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 IL
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant ALFRED HENNEN.
