FROM HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

BRooKLINE, Der. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMEN: I have examined the sheets Of the
translation of the admirable work of Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
send me. You win have rendered great service
to the science of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition of the translation was too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general in this country The
present publication, from its form, its style of exc
cution and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by Mr. Stra-
han has been tested it ia in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision OF the editor,
Judge Cushing
In searching for q solution of the apparently new
questions arising of the various relations which
our advance in civilization is creating, and in judg-
ing Of those reforms Of the law which in progress
in different parts of the United States the value Of
the civil law will be appreciated as 1t comes to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with system
Of written reasons which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has witnessed, and which 10 the real basis Of
the jurisprudence Of continental Europe, and of a
large portion Of that OF England and the United
States.
1t would be quite useless for me to speak of the
merits of the great work which your enterprise is
about to give to the American public. From the
isolated position which the civil law has been per-
nitted to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning is have been translated into Eng
lish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises that subject. have
no doubt that in louisiana, in Texas, in Calfor-
MA and in the Territories Of the ULited States
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand FOR your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
10 the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prisipg house will find its interest in publishing
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works as will form the basis of a
civil law library
remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedent servant, GEORGE EUSTlS.
