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

BosToN, SEPT. o, 1850
Messrs. LITTLE & BRows Gentlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transa
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, the same subject, to be
compared with it, tor the fulincss and correctness
of the doctrine conveyed throughout il.
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 deservediy. The compers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from 1t Tor their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in carly
life, which may account tor 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.
