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

much pleased to learn that you are engaged In
publishing revised edition Of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, the same subject, is to be
compared with it. for the fullness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Erom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
sent, 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 1t for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life, which may account for the singular acueness
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.

al should omit doing justice to my own feelings,
lect the decisions in Galison's and Mason's Re-

and wisdom in decision."-3 Kent, 20; (2) 527.
