considering the age and the circumstances in
which it written, is truly wonderful per-
formance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear. exact, and comprehensive
The object Of the author, in this learned produc.
ton, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and proyisipns Of the Roman law, which are of gen
erai interest and application, from the technicali
tics OF the systein, aud, by presenting them in q
natural and scientific method TO render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful anc
agreeable; aud, though the work was PARTICULAR J
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru
dence of the age, it is not less applicable TO every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
part, or in which it is recognised asa body o
written Besides the generafclaims which
e work thus possesses to the attention Of the Anne
rcan lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal Institutions derived
in part from those Of France Spain, and thus
founded in the Roman law
These reasons have induced belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition Of this cee.

and have led them to engage in republication o

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

BRooKLINE, Der. IL, 1850.
GESrLEMEN; have examined the sheets of the
translation Of the admirable work Of Domat on the
Civil Law, which you have been kind enough to
eend 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 toe
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general in this country. The
present publication from its form, its stye of
cution, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by MIR. Stra-
han has been tested it is in the main correct but
will be improved under the revision Of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
advance in civilization is creating, and in udg
ing of those reforms law which are In progress
in different parts of the United States, the value Of
the civil law will be appreciated it to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with system
of written which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has witnessed, and which is 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-
mitted to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
lish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises that subject. have
. doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
mia, and in the Territories Of the U tied States
well as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand Tor 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
