The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-01-18
FROM ALFRED HENNEN, Esq, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR

Measrs. LITTLE y BRoW:! Gcntlemen-l am
much pleased 10 learn that you engaged in
publishing a revised edition Of Strahan's transa-
ton Of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, the subject, is to be
compared with il, for the fullness and correctness
ui the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
FROM the time of it, 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
poeon drew copiously from il for their work. Ma
poeon 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 discussions 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.
