FROM HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF TIE STATE OF LOUISIANA.
BRooKLINE, Der. II, 1850.


ciESTLEMEN Ihave 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 will have rendered a great service
10 the science Of law by the publication. The form
of the Eu g!ish edition OF the translation too
large and inconvenient-and its scarcity and high
price prevented its general use in this country The
present publication, from its form, its style OF exc
cutiOu and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested ii IS in the main correct but
will be improved under the revision of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
Ia searching for solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations " hCh
our advance IN civilization Is creating and IN Judg
Of those reforms ofthe law which are IN progress
in different parts of the United States, the vauc Of
the civil law will be appreciated as 1t 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
the jurisprudence of continental Europe and OF
large portion of that of England ana the United
States.
II would be quite useless for 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-
United to occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning il have been translated into Eng
fish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises on that subject. have
no doubt that in ouisiana, in Texas in Califor-
MA and in the new Territories of the United States.
as well as in Lower Canada there will be a ready
demand FOR your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their fay
TO the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prisng house will find it's interest in publishing,
from time time, in the English language, such
other standard works as will form the basis of
civil law library,
