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

Messrs. LITTLE BRowS: Gentemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton of D0MAT ON CIVIL LAW No work in
the English language, the same subject, Is TO be
compared with it, for the fullness and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout 1t.
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 copiously from II 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 the adoption of his code
Dolnat should, and hope will be, found in the IL
brary Of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
