FROM ALFRED HENNEN, esq, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: Gentlemen-I am
much pleased TO learn that you engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
ton OF DoMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, on the same subject, is to be
colnpa,ed with it, for the fulness and correctness
nftbe doctrine conveyed throughout it.
i'rom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
srnt, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers IN every country, and
very deservcdly. The compilers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiousy from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
hfe, which may account for the singular acuteness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions the adoption of his code
Do,nat should, and hope will be, found in the Ii
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
