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


much pleased 10 learn that you are engaged in
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL Law. No work in
ne rb gr tbe be- i uneas and tn
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
From the time of its publication, up 10 the pre-
cent, il has received the appreciation OF the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
polcon 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 Ii
brary OF every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.

81 should omit doing justice 70 my own feelings,
as well to the cause of truth, II were not to Sc
Iect the decisions in Galhson's and Mason's Re-

may fairly be placed upon level with the best
productions of the English Admiralty, for deep and
accurate Learning, well as for the highest ability
