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

nessrs LITTLE s. BRowS Gcntemen-I am
much peascd to learn that you are engaged in
publishing a revised edition Of Strahan's transa
ton OF DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the En- glish language the same subject, is to hc
compared with il, for the fulness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout it,
FROM the time of its publication, up TO the pre-
gent, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deseryedy The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from il for their work. Ma.
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which ma account for the singular acutcncss
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions on the adoption of his code
Domat thould, and hope will be, found in the Ii
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
