JUsTPUBLISHED, DoMAT IN. CIVIL LAW
by VIM. Strnhan, LID. Advocate in Doctors
Commons. Edited, from the second London Edi-
tion, 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 vols. Royal Svo.
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have exerted the most intiu-
ence upon our Jurisprudence, is DohAT, "whose
work, entitled the tiuii Lass in its Natural Or
DER says Judge Story, preface to Bailments,)
considering the age and the circumstances in
which it was written, is q 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-
tion, was to disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which Of gem
eral interest and application, from the technicai-
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method to render them more
intelhgible, 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, il is not lcss applicable to every
system of law, II which the Roman code is either
a part, or in which it is recognised as body of
written reason. Besides the general claims which
the work thus possesses to the attention OF the Anne
rcan lawyer, boat has peculiar interest in those
of the States whose legal institutions derived
in part from those of France Spain, and are thus
founded in the Roman law.
These reasons have induced 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 q republication ol
the English translation of it by DR.. strahan.

FROM HON. JUDGE EUSTIS, CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA.

T.. IT, l.,
GENrLEMEN: have 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 viii have rendered great service
to the science Of law by the publication. The form
of the English edition Of the translation was too
price prevented i general use in this country. The
present publication, from ts form, its style Of
cution, and moderate price, think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested it 10 in the main correct but
will be improved under the revision of the editor
In searching for solution of the apparently new
questions arising out Of the various relations which
our advance in civilization s creating and IN judg-
ing Of those reforms ofthe law which in progress
in different parts Of the United States the value Of
the civil law will be appreciated as it comes to be
understood II cannot be otherwise with system
of written which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has ever witnessed, and which ia the real basis of
the jurisprudence of continental Europe, and of q
large portion Of that of England and the United
States. M ~ i4
II would be quite useless for me 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-
nitted 70 occupy in England, few of the standard
works concerning it have been translated into Eng
lish, and this want has not been supplied by the
original English treatises on that subject. I have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor-
nia and in the new Territories Of the UL tied States
as well as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
to the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prsing house will find its interest in publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works aa will form the basis of
civil law library.
! remain, gentlemen, very respectfully. youI
