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


Messrs. LITTLE & BRows: Gcntlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing u revised edition OF Strahan's uansla-
ton Of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
compared with il, for the fuLness and correctness
ofthe doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Erom the time of its publication. up to the pre-
sgnt, 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 1t for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acuteness
ing the discussions the adoption OF his code
Doinat should, and hope will be, found in tho Ii
brary of every American lawyer
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
