JUST PUBLISHED, DoMAT (M.) CIVIL LAW
INITS NATURAL ORDER, translatedinto English
by VIM. Strahan, LID. Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited from the second London Edi-
ton, by Hon. LUTHER s. CUSHING, late one of
the Judges in the Court of Common Pleas; now Lee
turer on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In 2vols. Royal Syo.
Among the writers on the Roman Law whose
works are best known TO English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most infu-
ence upon our Jurisprudence, is DoMAr, "whose
work, entitled INe tiOii La,c in its Natural Or
DER" says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
ssconsidering the age and the circumstances in
which it 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 produc-
ton, WINS to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which of gen
eral interest and application, from the technica-
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, to render them more
ineligible, 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, q which the Roman code is either
a part, or in which it is recognised body Of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
he work thus possesses to the attention Of the Ae
rcan lawyer bomat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those Of France or Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced a belief on the part
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 OF
the English translation of it by DR.. Strahan.
