The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-02-12
FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR.


Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: Gentlcmen--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 En- gsh language, on the same subject is to be
compared with 1t, for the fullness and correctness
ofthe doctrine conveyed throughout it.
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 deservedly. The compilers Of the Code Ma
poleon drew copousy 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 IL
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
