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

Messrs LITTLE s. BRows: Gentemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing a 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
compared with it, for the fulness and correctness
OF the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Erom the time of It's publication, up to the pre-
sent, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedy. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from II for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
fife, which may account for the singular acuteness
and wisdom of his observations and decisions dur
ing the discussions on the adoption OF his code
Donat should, and hope will be, found in the Ii
brary of every American lawyer
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
