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


N1essrs. LITTLE & BRowN: Gcntlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you engaged in
publishing revised edition of Strahan's transla-
iion of DONIAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
compared with it, for the fullness and correctness
of the 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 It for their work. Ma
polcon 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 the adoption of his CODE
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the H.
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.
