FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR


BosToN, SEPT. 6, 1850.
Messrs. LITTLE BRowN Gentlemen-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 glish language, the subject, is to be
compared with it. for the fullness and correctness
| of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
| From 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 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.
