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


Massrs LITTLE & Bows Gcntlemen--I am
mueh pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing a revised edition of Strahans transia
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW No work in
the Eng glah language, the subject, is to be
compared with il, for the fullness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
From the time of it's 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 compiers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, 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 H.
brary of every American lawyer,
Your obeclient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
