liar reference to comfort and convenience for study;

apparatus necessary to render the means ofnstruc
ton complete; giving to Newark Academy faci-
ties for private study and comfortable accommoda
ton OF Students fully equal to those afforded by
many Of our colleges.

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

BRooKLINE, OCT. IL, 1850.
GENTLEMES; 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 Inc. You will have rendered great service
To the science of law by the publication. The form
Of the English 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 ts form, its style of exc
cution, and moderate price, Think, cannot fail in
remunerating you. The translation by Mr.. Stra-
han has been tested it Is in the main correct, but
will be improved under the revision of the editor,
Judge Cushing.
In searching for a solution of the apparently new
questions arising out of the various relations which
advance in civilization is creating and in judy
ing of those reforms the law which in progress
in different parts of the United States, the value OF
the civil law will be appreciated II comes to be
understood. 1t cannot be otherwise with system
OF written which for centuries governed the
most wonderful social organization that the world
has witnessed, and which ID the real basis of
the Jurisprudence of continental Europe. and of
large portion of that of England and the United
States.
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-
United to 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
riginal English treatises on that subject. have
no doubt that in Louisiana, in Texas, in Califor
MIA, and in the Territories OF the United States,
as we'll as in Lower Canada, there will be ready
demand for your publication. The profession
throughout the Union will readily lend their favor
TO the undertaking; and trust that your enter
prisinp house will find its interest in publishing,
from time to time, in the English language, such
other standard works will form the basis of
civil law library.
1 remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedlent servant, GEORGE EUSIlS.

considering the age and the circumstances IN

formance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear exact and comprehensive
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, was 20 disembarrass those Of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law which are of gen
eral interest and application, from the TECHNICAL
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 particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru
dence of the age, 1t Is not less applicable 10 every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
part, in which 1t is recognised as body of
written reason Besides the general claims which
Che work thus possesses to the attention of the Anne
rcan lawyer, Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
part from those of France or 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 cee
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.
