JUST PUBLISHED, DoMAT IN CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL OF RDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited, from the second London Edi-
ton, by Hon. LUTHER 5. CUSHING, late one OF
the Jud gee the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee,
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo.
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are best known 10 English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infiu-
ence upon our jurisprudence, is DoMAT, whose
X,
DER says Judge Story, preface to Bailmen,s,)
.considGrng the age and the circumstances in
which il was 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 preduc-
ton, was TO disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which are Of gem
eral interest and application, from the TECHNICAL
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, to render them more
intelligibe, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dence Of the age it is not lees applicable to every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
a part or in which it is recognised as a body OF
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses the attention Of the Ame
rcan lawyer Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal institutions are derived
in part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced belief on the par
of the publishers that modern edition OF this cele
brated work would be acceptable to the profession
and have led them TO engage in republication o
the English translation of it by Dr. Strahan.

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

BROOKLINE, OCT IL, looU
GENTLEMEN 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 viii have rendered great service
20 the science of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition OF the translation was 100
LARGE and inconvenent-and its scarcity and high
prce prevented its general in this country The
present publication, from ts for It's style OF exc
cution and moderate price, think, cannot IAN In
remunerating you The translation by MIR. Stra-
will be improved under the revision of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for a solution of the apparently new
Questions arising out of the various relations which
our advance in civilization Is creating and In Juog
ing of those reforms the law which In progress
in different parts Of the United States, the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated as II 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 ever witnessed and which is the real basis Of
the jurisprudence Of continental Europe, and OF
large portion Of that Of England and the United
States.
Ii 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 10 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
origipal En- neliah treatises that subject. have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, In Caiifor-
nia and in the new Territories OF the United 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
to the undertaking.; and trust that your enter
prising house will find its interest in publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis OF a
civil law library
